I have one but it looks better sitting on it's face with the lid off and just watching the tubes glow; or from behind you can pretend that you have a 40s set that's "collectable."

Just kidding; they aren't that bad, but they are very plain Jane. I don't think they are a big deal among the TV elite. Funny how a different wrapper around more or less the same chassis can make all the turn over potential in the world. I'm glad that later stuff is finally getting worthy recognition. I like 50s sets best myself. Always have! They are the most interesting and practical for service and viewing. Hey, I just remembered that it seems like my RCA lid doesn't have the tube diagram. I'll have to move a few radios off the top and see. That would be a plus! I thought perhaps it (diagram) was on the HV cage or the back cover which I am missing. My set will be complete once I have these two items. She was a little rough coming in the door several years ago. Missing knobs and very dirty. I almost knecked that 10BP4 bringing it home. The crt mounts are a joke and that jug was just rolling around in there more or less. It hadn't fallen when we loaded it so that something looked wrong. I didn't know anything about the way those old RCAs are put together. I noticed it after the trip at some point.
