I think this is the first I've seen of this model. Very handsome. My sister lives up that way, but after filling her bedroom with old tv sets when I was a kid I don't think I could get her to store this one!

Must weigh a ton! Definietly has a pre-war look to it. Makes me wonder where's the per-war radio part? Classic lines!

I have one of the 630TCS sets and it is heavy. It is a real solid cabinet. I pulled the chassis and started to work on it. Got the set from ChuckA over a year ago. I'm pretty happy to have it. Don't see many around. Think there were only a few thousand made. RCA sold a bunch of the table model. I have been after the table model for awhile now. I wanted to have both the table and console model.

I've owned a couple of those, and I restored one for Gary Miller. They're really classy sets, and definitely have a prewar appearance. I bet the cabinet was a prewar design and would have been the '42 model.

If I had the money and space right now I'd bid in a second. That is one beautiful looking set.
