Early B&W? or color?

On the upper right side, it appears that there is one ceramic octal socket on that chassis?

Seems out of place on a mass-produced consumer item like a TV set. Usually you only see those on military and industrial gear...

I saw that, but there is no reason the text would correspond to the picture.

I suspected B&W anyway.

One more thing - a trimmer cap under the chassis doesn't seem like an optimum design.

It's not a Muntz--Too many parts.

Look at all those wax caps and bumble bees! That will keep you busy recapping this post card.

I don't know why they used them, but they did! They were also shock-mounted. They probably got a good buy on them, so why not.

Which tube was installed in it? Presumably the shock mounting was for microphonics?
