I used to live in Arizona and I never thought of Globe as a hick town! I do remember the copper mine!

And I never knew that Arizona used to have 25Hz power! This is very interesting information: I wonder besides canada and Arizona where else was 25Hz?

I wrote the guy selling the TV in Toronto and he sent some more pictures. The transformer mounting seems odd mounted on what appers to be a wood slab. However it does look original.

Note that the note refers to "Her Majesty". That means Elizabeth II was on the throne. My TV is a bit older and says "His Majesty" (George VI, her father). George VI died in February 1952 hence the set must have been made after then.

I wonder when the licence notice was dropped from Canadian TV's?

Here are the pictures so you can see for yourselves.
