In the late 40s and early 50s radio and television magazines advertised
complete chassis (manufacturer's overstock) for sale. Many of the
chassis were variants of the RCA 630, with options to operate picture
tubes up to 19 inches. This set was made using such a chassis. The CRT
(16 inch) is mounted in a separate housing, with the chassis and speaker
in the larger cabinet on the bottom.
(Loaned to the museum by Bill Mayer of Santa Rosa, California. This set was built by
his father William Mayer, who lived in Springfield, Ohio.)
