Ahhh! That's the difference... the early model did not have much of a CRT "bump"... also the "wrap around" vs the "lip" treatment of the CRT bezel adds to the illusion of a much thinner set!

Update: I just measured a 17" "Predicta" which uses a 110 degree 17ADP4...it is also 11" deep... guess the 114 Degree tubes were not built in time for it or the "Seventeener III"

Actually the Seventeener III shares the same tube as the 17" Predicta. The 3/59 Sam's lists the tube as using either the Philco or Sylvania 17DAP4/SF-17.
