WOW! Where (what city) did that turn up? I think it's the first one I've seen, owned by a collector other than myself here on AK.
Nice set, CLEAN re-cap, and that's a fairly rare cabinet. It's the last year for Kaye-Halbert, and should have had the wired remote socket on the back of the chassis, but I see a cover plug in it's place. That one was probably made at the up-sized Eastham Drive factory in Culver City, but you could check on the tube layout. It should say whether it was the Hayden Ave or Eastham factory. Watch out for those letters on the flip-down door... They fall off! Charles

Zeke looks like a clone of our 16-year old cat Tido (not my choice of dumb names -- he was adopted). Wish we could interest him in television. He's stone deaf and spends much of the day shrieking at us to let him in or out of the house every few minutes.
P.S. Very cool TV. Phil

Very nice. I did notice that there is no cover on the bottom of the barrel type tuner? Is this original? I have been restoring Hoffman Easy Vision TVs and notice that some of these have covers, some do not. Also notice that the high voltage rectifier tube is underneath the chassis. I have some Hoffman table models also designed like this.
