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.
Yes, and apparently it also came with a remote in the Top of the line models...

My tv seems to have developed a vertical problem where the top of the screen isn't going all the way up to the top and it bounces around, and the vertical output/oscillator tube is still good yet, any ideas as to what could be causing the unstable vertical?

One theory I have is that the vertical section has about 3 paper caps in it which may have become leaky, but not sure if that's the problem or not.
