I highly doubt the 8TS30 was a Vassos design although I do agree that it does have a more deco look than the 630. Vassos style was the pre-war streamlined look that fell out of fashion after the war. Not much was heard of Vassos in radio/TV design at that point. That's why I absolutely believe the 621 was pre-war design.
The 630 looks better in person, by the way, especially a nice original example. The big plate glass front along with the ripply framed notty grille cloth panels make it look very primitive. It's a great set to watch too. They work amazingly well!
