Thnx, I'm in!
Not my set, which went from SLC to CenCal, I think San Jose/ Palo Alto in the early 1970s. Radio buttons would have been tabbed for SLC stations.
I paid $14 for mine, with spare chassis and manuals in the early 1960s, they helped me load it into the back of a 1960 Falcon wagon. I might have been 16 at the time. The price for the next custodian was free for personal hands-on transport.

Musta had some really sentimental value for someone.
It should have been worth 8-12k or more in the early tv collector market. Pre-WW-2 TV stuff is fairly rare, tho the TRK-12 and variants are the most common sets.

Really large "footprint" but an awesome-lookin' specimen. Deco styling (speaker grills?) is really cool.
John Vassos was the stylist on staff at RCA who did the entire series up to the 621, afaik.

That is cool. I just watched the episode of The Secret Life of Machines on TV's and they showed one similar from back when the tubes were so long they had to put them upright and use a mirror.
As long as we are going down the prewar TV rabbit hole:
