Model number AH054H, Sams dates it to 1965.

And Tom, I had to laugh....really hard!! I was pulling the chassis and one of your spider's babies (I assume) crawled out from behind the tuner

Cute little guy, probably the size of an eraser head. I laid him to rest
This 16" RCA and Big Daves CTC22 were good examples of RCA in the mid-60s, probably a bit less expensive than their Zenith Counterparts. When RCA dropped Victor in 1968, their sets got kindsa crummy - and stayed that way until the XL-100 and Colortrack saved them - IMAO

I have to attend this swap meet with a few fun sets Id like to pass along
