I have one similar to it , alot of these sets had kind of a cheap chassis seleniums , series wired , on a hot chassis with plastic insulators .
Real mass produced design , but they are really cool sets none the less .
Mine is the model or 2 below this one , it has a sheet metal cabinet with photoprint wood grain , and the chassis on the bottom .
I done a recap on it and still have no decent results , real bad horizontal oscillator problems , among other things rf , if , and the list goes on ....
It had been in a unheated garage for about 30 years so this has probably taken it's toll on things over time
It was working for a while , and it did have a really decent picture .

Eric , I think your right on the year , but it could also be a 1956 .
