I was out Christmas shopping with a friend this afternoon and spied this RCA being used as a store prop.

I couldn't get around to the back to check for any additional info. Unlike the 8T241 or 8T243, the top access cover and screen bezel are flush with the cabinet.

Anyone know the model # ?

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pictures.

P.S. A few doors down was our local Tesla dealership. We spent about an hour looking them over and talking to the salesperson, but couldn't swing a test drive.
I guess they didn't trust us with a $110,000 vehicle :D

It looks like my 9T243, but I will go and look to be sure.

Edit: Yes, it looks just like my 9T243. Here is a picture of mine, under a Stromberg-Carlson TC-10.

Mystery solved :) TV History doesn't have that model listed: http://www.tvhistory.tv/1946-49-RCA.htm

Is that the dreaded photofinish peeling off the front?

Yup, that is photofinish. Someone around here has a Tesla-one of my radio buddies chatted with them recently, and he talked about how he was most impressed with how silent it was, and how fast it took off and continued accelerating.

0-60 in 3.7 :)

I talked to the owner of that gift shop. She won't part with the TV. Just as well - I wouldn't have anywhere to put it.

Wow! Just the way that I WISH my 8T-243 looked! The 8T has a darned rectangular mask as opposed to the much cooler looking (IMO) double D look. My 8T-243 was sort of an offer that I couldn't refuse, but to me has always been an ugly set, and heavy too for a table model.
