I forgot to mention there is a sticker on the back apron from a "Wicks" Sales and Service company, this address is in the same city as where I got the set (Riverside CA) so likely it's been there all it's life.
Today that address is an Auto Mall and has been for many years now.
The date is stamped near that sticker, someone mention that TV shops would sometimes stamp the date of repairs on the set for warranty purposes, I wonder if that's the case here? That sure looks like it says 1953 to me.
I have the chassis on the Variac right now, 50 volts on the line and 130 volts on the + of the rectifiers and no smoke or smells yet though one filter can is just barely warmer than the rest.
