Its funny that all the seller chose to put in the title was "vintage cabinet tv",you'd think they would at least use the word DuMont.

I'm guessing a 1953-ish DuMont. That company went from making beautiful monolithic pieces of electronic art to making average sets really quick it seems. Perhaps the limited rich family market became saturated at a certain point and they had to get realistic and produce average sets for average people. The same thing is going on now with the all mighty flat screen. At first the prices were ridiculous and as far as I'm concerned they still are, but wait another five or more years and they will be cheap. I just wish that Wal-Mart would have a brand new DuMont RA-109 with a color upgrade over the troublesome original 19AP4 CRT. I would rather have that then ANY flat, plastic turd!
