This set was made in 1948 to be installed in the wall of a house or in a separate, metal cabinet. It is a projection set, and is almost 6 feet tall. The set is a kit, made by Television Assembly Company of New York. We have the complete assembly manual for the set. Here are some advertisements and brochures for this set, and 1949 articles.
