Electronic M is correct. The pics of the TV on the tile floor were taken at my home, thus the background TV's are part of my collection already.

Indeed there were three console stereos at the sale. All of them had already sold which I was pleased to see.

Regarding the working condition of the set, when I said it works, I meant just that; it works with a good picture receiving that of a LPTV signal. Since the set was still wired to the outdoor antenna, I was able to pull in channel 48 on UHF and channel 6 as Electronic M had indicated.

I never did hear much good about this particular chassis. I can see how it would be problematic after a few years of normal use. The large PC boards are like that of a GE and are a lower grade material that probably wouldn't handle heat very well. This is indeed a nice example of this particular brand due to it's low hours and originality. I agree that this chassis is similar in layout to a Packard Bell with that vertical board on the left, however, I don't see any other similarities such as tube types or physical construction. I think this chassis was an exclusive development by NUE/Emerson making it more special and unique.

It was fun to find this one, a nice contrast to the more familiar Zenith and RCA products. I had one other DuMont color set about 10 years ago, it was a 1971 model and it used basically this same chassis. The cabinet construction on the '71 was not as good as this '67. I think this particular set I have here was one of the "higher end" models that DuMont offered at the time.
