DuMont may not have been the first to put its TVs in Oriental-style cabinets. The set being discussed here reminds me of a 21" Stromberg-Carlson console TV my aunt had in the 1950s. It was in a white cabinet with heavy doors over the CRT; the large square door pulls were adorned with Manchurian-like artwork. Perhaps SC got the idea from DuMont, or was it the other way around?
