The chassis is about the same for all models, 14" to 21". It's a low B+ series string, with the only big difference being the tuners.

+1 I also have the 1146 in a beige tolex covering and yes the Sams seems to show only console models. I started a thread here about 3 years ago, still sitting on my bench partly recapped and with some minor issue. Another project stalled in favor of the money makers

I recaped mine and installed a brand new Sylvania SS85 CRT. The original was totally flat.
It turned out great and really works well for an el-cheapo.

That original tube in yours was a Dumont in the Early TV forum post that got bumped. Thanks for the encouragement, I should finish mine.

When I got the set, it had a brightner on it and I think, someone rejuvenated it to death, probably with an old B&K.
