I googled the chassis number and Radiomuseum com/org whatever says it is from 1960. there is one bad thing with this set, it has a tube brightner on it and is extremely dim without it hooked up. i don't suppose anyone has a bright 23gp4 lying around?
I did find a old advertisement on newspapers.com from Mar 61 where this model was on sale for $229 in Texas, must have been a close out sale.

Our radio club has one meet during the summer where TV's are included.
The CRT can be rejuvenated probably just once. I might wake up a little more.

Well, not really. We did try that at one of our July swap meets a few years back. (I brought over 70 TV sets, selling about a third of them, mostly at less than I originally paid for them.) Unfortunately there were not a lot of sales from the other TV sellers. Those that did bring sets mostly overpriced them for this market, leading to complaints from sellers that the buyers didn't want to pay their prices, and from buyers that said they could find sets cheaper elsewhere. I think most wanted to see what would happen, but by not bringing anything along themselves, yet expecting everyone else to bring stuff, they spoiled it. However, as you have noticed, our WARCI club must have about 10 members that are also on ARF & VK as TV collectors. And bringing TVs is welcome at any of our WARCI events. The only restriction is that we don't want TVs placed in the donation auction at the end of our swap meets, because if not taken, we must pay to have them recycled.
