I like the small screen sets, as well. That's why I have so many.
I remember that model was available in several furniture styles. I always used to scoff at the sellers that referred as that set being a "Sales mans sample".
RCA must've had a lot of those cabinets left over, from the days of building AM/FM table radios in this country.
Around the time that set was built, all RCA's small radios were Japanese built.
BTW, the neon lamp was used to minimize arcing in the CRT.
