The photo is taken in my old living room in Santa Clarita. That prototype was one that I sold several years ago. Kaye-Halbert made several production versions of that cabinet; "The Cambridge". Ironically, the set next to the KH is the very set in my avatar picture; Zenith color roundie 27KC20Q.

As far as the one found by the OP, it looks to be a 253 chassis (1952-53), and is the "Open Face Console". The control box was a very weak plastic unit with a pop-off panel, and they're always cracked or missing. I can't help there, but I do have correct knobs for it, which I would consider donating if the set winds up being restored.
