Alright, enough time has passed for guesses re the make of the cabinet. No, it's not from Heathkit, Stromberg, Hallicrafters or whatnot; it's from CBS and originally had a 19 inch picture tube and 2 chassis' of guts to make it work! This was CBS's answer to RCA's CT-100 with (at the time) a radically different method of producing the color CRT compared to the 15GP22's silkscreen method. The original owner ditched the guts of the CBS and put in the Heathkit. Many years later he very much wished he had kept the set as was given its extreme rarity today. For more information, check out ETF's website under early color sets and look for a CBS 205 for a good discussion and schematic.
Incidentally, Steve Dichter won the contest and will be awarded the plugged nickel when next I see him. Congratulations, Steve!
