Well, since I seem to be in the habit of getting sets without cabinets lately (this is my FOURTH this week, imagine that....), check this out.

Buddy of mine gave me a chassis for what appears to be an Automatic Radio TVX-313. What the devil IS that??

It looks identical to my TV-709 chassis at a cursory glance, except the picture tube is raised up much higher off the chassis. On another plus side, it had most of the knobs I needed for my 709

Any thoughts on THIS chassis?

I've seen that chassis used on some odd-brand early post-war sets. Maybe that was the case with this chassis and they made that modification to the CRT mount.
