I saw one of these about a year ago and it was on my very short list. Found one listed on Craigslist for $20 and for once, I got in first. What can you guys tell me about this set. I'm guessing the year as about 1959. I would assume it's series string. I love the design. Thanks,
Greg

1959 is right, it's called the "Hillsborough" and you stole it for $20!

The Prelinger Archive has a Promo Film on this model:

Man with the way that trim looks, it's almost like you could put a color roundie tube in it. Doubt it's deep enough, though.

Correct, it's a shallow 110 deg tube.

It's alive!! Got a schematic coming, thanks to wiscojim on ARF. Then we can order some caps. This sucker takes up a lot of room. Wonder where I'm going to put it?.......

Perhaps it would make a good living room coffee table.
