Tested the other day when I got it and tv actually came on. Tried today and sound only. Radio works. Is this early 60s? If more pics are needed, lmk.

Yes, that’s ‘60,s era. That tv would have really nice sound with those big woofers.

Yeah I figured 60s but would like to know what year exactly. I've tried the radio and it does sound good.

For date use 4 digit date codes on major UNREPLACED parts. Like
FBT's, CRT, yoke, filter cans. Add a few months from the newest date.
Ex. 4263 would be 42nd week of 1963.
Also US built after 3-64 HAD to have UHF tuners. If it dont its pre 3-64.
Sams can give a close date. On the hard copy there is a folder # to
date chart. Typically the date of the folder is apx 1 year later than
the build date.

I do know it doesn't have a uhf. Just a knob says "reserved for UHF".
