That looks like a fun project. A real rival to RCA's comparable offerings of the time.
IDK if it is a rival to the RCA sets at the time.
RCA contracted with Sylvania at the time to build the same identical set at the time. All the tubes were badged with the RCA logo. IDK why they did it!
I also seen one with the AMC logo.
