Yes, that would be a 19AP4. No booster on the CRT which is a good sign, but easily removed. I LOVE old Dumonts and this one is only a few hours from me. What I dont like is the size and weight and the fact that I really dont have the room. I would consider losing a piece of furniture to have this set which is probably an easy restore, or may work as is with little work. These sets are tough as nails and this one was kept in a living room. It looks super clean and unmolested. Original owners probably would not have kept it around all these years if it was worn out and useless. Possibly though they got older and couldnt lift the ton of television. The RA-108 looks a bit smaller than the 109 I once owned. The weight and size was the reason I got rid of that one. And the cabinet veneer was rough.

Man! Will somebody come take this 1959 24" Zenith Space Command out of my kitchen so I can have room for this beast????

Also, I could swear there is a raster on this set but the seller says he cant get it to "light". Looks lit to me. Nice and bright which would be a good sign...
