There seem to be a lot of similar RCAs in your area. This cabinet is styled exactly like my 1951 RCA(even the same knobs on the doors) but I would say a different chassis configuration since it uses a round crt rather than a rectangular. The last table model you found had the exact same chassis as mine.If I was in your area and could have got it cheap enough it would have been good for a spare chassis. But he wanted too much for it and shipping would have cost even more(a lot more) to ship that chassis all the way from California to Maryland. Too bad the ones you are finding are so beat up and with bad crts.
I think the tubes these particular RCAs used must have been especially leak prone kinda like the 15GP22 in the color sets since that one is dead and the other one you found and mine have been replaced with glass tubes long ago.
