I've been interested in vintage TV 's for decades I can say for sure that this set, for some reason, has the 630TS complete knob set. It is possible this is an early 8TS30 and this was done at the factory. If you want to make it correct though it should have, as I said, the gold "cup" knobs and the dark plastic channel selector without channel 1. No Chris, the blonde version did not use the brass channel plate. Also the set is the walnut version which is seen much less than the mahogany version. I like how it contrasts the dark trim. The blonde sets have tan painted trim.
