A few years ago I was fortunate enough to find one of these locally and it came with the metal stand and was even a remote set! Mine is a '59, but the remote was gone and have periodically searched to find one on ebay. It's kind of a strange looking remote, the end flares open like the bell of a trumpet and has two clicker buttons on it.

I have a Philco seventeener of the same vintage and I bet its lighter than Eric's RCA
 and Im guessing your average 1960 Zenith was heavier than 43 pounds too.

The Seventeener has no transformer so it is lighter. The RCA is a light years better set though.

I really like the "bulging eye-ball" of the RCA, but the '59 Philco "Seventeener III" is slightly more appealing. I got one a few years ago and it's a flawless performer. I grew up with similar early '60's Admiral "briefcase" sets and find it very nostalgic to watch. I wouldn't say the Philco is heavy, but it sure isn't a feather either!
