Very cool and rare TV. I have a clipping from a Radio Retailing mag. that states that it sold for $645. Now realize that would be like spending about $6,000 today!
Another model at the same time was a tall console that looked the size of a china-cabinet with the CRT way up top! It had a shortwave radio and phono below.
BTW, I too used to think that TV's made in 1948 and onward dropped channel 1, but it's not true. I have a Motorola VT-71 marked "1948" that has channel 1.
