For that matter, what vintage is the Du Mont tuner?

And hey, while at the ETF convention, if you wish to downgrade your new set to a RCA TRK 12/120, the ETF has an empty cabinet in this year's auction.

I do know that my town Prince George did not get television broadcasting until
1959 so if this set would have arrived here when new it would have been one hell of a long wait!
