Great set.

Thanks! I don't have much to judge by, since other than photos, this is the only DuMont I can remember ever seeing. Looking at photos of different DuMont sets, though, it does seem the ones with doors are more prevalent. The cover of the "John F. Riders" service guide shows six models for 1950, and four of them have doors. Interesting that out here in the west, as dusty as it is, that my grandparents would buy one without doors. Although where they lived out in California it was all citrus orchards and vineyards "back in the day", so maybe dust wasn't as big a deal.
