Early 60's Silvertone CTC 10-11?

I went to Victorville today to pick up a late 50's Magnavox B&W console, it was $25 so I figured what the heck.

The seller told me ealier that he had a big Silvertone Color set also and that it was a tube set, I figured it would be an early 70's model perhaps but no, it's a Roundie!

Not sure exactly what chassis is is other than an RCA clone, it has the two knobs under the channel changer and four across the bottom under the speaker, it also has a Safety Glass so it should have an unbonded tube, original I think because it has the Silvertone logo on the base.
It checked weak right off but I let it cook for a few minutes and it went way high in the good range, it stayed in the good range after I dropped the voltage to 5v so I think it'll be OK.

It's missing the back and the knob, the plate behunds the knob is beat up and the cabinet is rough.

I'd like to restore it but if I can't at least find the knobs I'm not sure what I'll do with it.

The odd perspective in the photo is because the set is standing on it's head.
