Believe it or not, I'm not full of crap

Ok, here's the deal..........a feller local to me has several sets that he may end up giving me (or selling cheap). One is my ever lovin Heath GR-2000 and the other is a RCA XL-100. Both work.

But the kicker is the bomb he dropped on me (he had made no mention of this in earlier e-mails):

"The other one is an RCA Victor: Berkshire. This one is a B/W
TV with swinging doors that close on the face of the TV. Again this one is working, but one of the knobs finally gave up the ghost. My sister may not be willing to part with this one because of the magnificently crafted wooden enclosure."

According to what I've found on the web, this is a early projection TV with a built in record player and radio:

Does this sound correct? Can I assume this is worth more than the typical old set? Am not trying to get rich, but wouldn't complain if this thing is worth a few sheckels either. Please let me know ASAP as am going to try to see it today. Thank you Mrs Kalabash!
