Neat! I have a set that's very similar to this one. It's the 1960 model, with a 110 degree tube. It doesn't have UHF, and it doesn't have the power tuning or remote, although there are mounts and notes about where those features would go. The remote system that would have gone with mine is a wireless one, and it added another small chassis at the bottom of the set, in the speaker area, to support it. This set appears to have an 8" round speaker installed - mine has a (wait for it...) 9"x21" speaker. Yes, that's 21 inches across, nine inches tall. It's quite possibly one of the most unusual looking speakers I've ever seen. Even has a coaxially mounted tweeter. My set works mostly, although the picture is vertically squished (haven't gotten around to recapping). Found it along the side of the road and managed to get it into my Toyota Camry. That wouldn't have been possible if it was this model, the 110 degree tube makes a huge difference in the depth of the set!
I don't know what it is about these sets, but I really do like the looks of the cabinet. Should also be a good performer too. Definitely a higher-end model, with the remote and power tuning and all. Someone should go for it!
