Sorry for the delayed reply. Thanks everyone for the great info!
Unfortunately, I found out that the set had been converted to a modern picture tube and chassis! The person I bought it from told me that it was done by a television shop, for his friend's elderly mother. She was told that either the set couldnt be repaired or wouldnt be reliable, and she wanted to keep it due to the cabinet. The conversion was very professionally done, from the outside it would be impossible to tell any modification took place. In fact, the tv uses a modern remote and I have yet to determine where they mounted the new IR sensor. The new chassis and tube is a Phillips, at least from the sticker on the picture tube. However, the tuner assembly is still in place... maybe one day in the future I can locate the missing parts to restore it back.
Does anyone have any marketing material or ads on this tv, I was wondering how it was sold and whether it was considered a higher end model. Also what was special about the chassis and tube that made it such an outstanding performer. Its very sad finding out the best part of the television has been removed...
