I guess that Bob Anderson does not want to brag, but he also has a GE with a silver-colored front plate:

Some of those knob plates went so ugly during the set's life that they were refinished. Since the lettering was indented, it was easily done.

James, you were fooled too, as I was. If you look closely you'll see the distinct difference in Bob's and mine. Bob's has the typical duller aluminum finish. Take a close look at mine and you'll see how much brighter it is - and the natural "brushed" striations in mine.
I definately attest to my set being a complete virgin when I first aquired it. All original caps and tubes - even the original felt pads under the controls!and no signs of a collector touching the cabinet.
