Though it's hard to really tell, I suspect that this TV set cabinet was gutted sometime in the early 70's (when the TV circuitry became defective and the owner didn't think it was worth getting it repaired). Set would have been about 15 years old then. But he wanted the cabinet obviously... Looks like he installed in it some plywood to create a back so he could store records or such in it.
Anyway I find it somewhat funny that some people wanted TVs in cabinets with doors to hide the CRT. Stealth TV? People didn't want an obvious TV set in the living room during a dinner party?
Did any TV manufacturer ever fit a power switch on the doors to shut the TV off when the doors were closed, and to turn it on when the doors were opened?
