IIRC, the set is considered to be a 1961 model.
RCA made about three years of that model. The 1959 model used a 5U4 rectifier, where the newer ones used the voltage doubler circuit.
A member of my family had a 1960 model that was the TOTL. It had a two-tone charcoal and white cabinet with all chromed metal knobs and a better looking front bezel.
The one you show is a lower priced version of basically the same set.
The TOTL 1961 models had a new-vistor tuner.
