NRI was the National Radio Institute, a trade school of the 1960s. Their ads appeared quite often in magazines such as Popular Science, Popular Mechanics and one or two others. This color TV was included in one of their TV correspondence courses, although I don't recall ever seeing the cabinet included with the set. IIRC, most of these correspondence-school TVs were offered as the chassis only, meant to be installed in a custom cabinet or wall mount. Heathkit also had several TV kits for which the cabinet was optional, but was available directly from them for an extra charge.
