I would be all over this if it were local:

Nice!

I'd like to have that set to go with the Suburbanite console I have that is in the wheat finish.

I wonder if that fiberglass cabinet would survive shipping?

:no: I wouldn't do it.
I'd like one of these too, I like the portables like these. I like the metal ones better but the style of this one is really cool.

I had a newer Silvertone fiberglass set (same color as this one) shipped to me a few years ago, it was a thinner one with a newer type CRT. The fiberglass survived but the plastic bezel around the CRT was completely smashed in one corner.
Some day I need to try to glue all the pieces back together...

I have one of these in the same color. It does have a small crack, but is otherwise ok.

I also have a Motorola "Fiberjet" fiberglass TV. I guess fiberglass was the new thing in the 1950s, so several TV manufacturer's used it for the case.
