I see your point and agree, but what is your theory on the fact that RCA, with their well designed and modern (for the time) flagship 630 set, would make a small number of small screen sets with a fairly complex old pre-war design? Next to 630 it's a total departure in the design "theme" of the pre-war line. There's isn't another year before or after that RCA diverted so obviously in their styling theme on their a line of radios or TV's.
