With that shape of CRT I would expect it's about the earliest of its kind. I'd say definitely all tube but for the fact that RCA had snuck a transistor or two into sets even earlier than this one just for s&g.

You do realize the stereo speakers would be useful only for the built in phonograph. In 1958 RCA adopted the 45-45 stereo record recording method(ending a format debate that had been going for a few years by then). In 1961 stereo FM broadcast was standardized by the FCC. And there was not FCC approval of a stereo TV sound transmission system until 1985(!)...Which to someone born well after that time(read me) who is well acquainted with technology through the ages seems about two decades late.....

That set is at Graceland if I'm not mistaken? Given to Elvis by RCA.
