Are you familiar with RCA's TRK-12? Those high-end sets were manufactured with nice wood cabinets, except for a few that were supplied with specially made clear lucite cabinets for demo at the 1939 World's Fair. Probably no one wealthy enough to pay $600.00 for a TV receiver in 1939 would have wanted one in a clear plastic cabinet on display in their living room. Today, they are extremely valuable collector's items.
