Nice set that is a 1959 Zenith and the cabinet style is called the Glenlake(according to my 1959 Zenith TV full line poster).
Since no one else has mentioned the obvious as a owner of almost the same set(mine is not HiFi and in different styled cabinet) I'll tell you that the tuning knob on yours is wrong for that set(it is either from an RCA CTC7-11 or a mid 60's monochrome Zenith IIRC).
BTW on RCA and Zenith TVs the chassis number is a better identification of the electronics than the model. Back then Zenith and RCA would put the same chassis in MANY different models and the model number would reflect stuff like the cabinet style and finish and electronic options(ie. UHF tuner, HiFi audio circuitry and remote control). RCA chassis numbers start with three letters(CTC## for a color TV, and KCS### for a monochrome TV) and then numbers. Zenith chassis nubers usually are two numbers, 1-2 letters, and then two more numbers and some times a post fix letter(ie. 16C21). Zenith tends to put the chassis number on a sticker on the side of the HV cage that faces you when you pull the back off.
