Says it's "similar" to picture so who knows what you'll get.

Lots of misleading info in the seller's ad.

Model number is R6508WA, a rectangular set, not a roundie.

He would have to come down in price. I know $45 isn't a fortune, but I don't know if I could go over $20 for this. As advertised-beat up! Finding the missing control panel trim won't be easy. The safety glass could be scarred. But, these could be decent performing sets. A good project.

Add $300 for the parking ticket you'll get, 'cause you'll need to park on the sidewalk next to a fireplug in that town.

That is 1968 vintage. The CRT's on those were kinda soft like on GE's and MAGs.
I beleive I have the knobs and escutcheon for that set! Let me know if you got it.
