I am quite confused about these DuMont models... The TV history site shows 2 different sets as RA113, one like mine (except mine is a 17") and a 19" roundie with the controls on one side.

The booklet that came with mine, indeed identifies it as a "Tarrytown" but with model # RA-113
B... is yours an
A?
Harry Posters site identifies a 17" one-sided control layout DuMont as a RA-113B "Brookville":

Perhaps the RA numbers are
chassis numbers and the
names are used to describe the various cabinet configurations?
