More Info...

In 1957, this Merrill was sold by one member of the CBS technical staff in Manhattan to another, its current caretaker, who used it for a few years in his Staten Island home before it was relegated -- in working condition -- to storage in his attic, where it remains to this day. The set was unearthed because the caretaker is selling his house. The plan is for me to inspect the set sometime next week. One must wonder with this new information whether the 'B111' designation on this set, and a few others, could denote a special order; in this case, perhaps CBS...?
