The later '49 version, which that one is, had the shield under the speaker transformer. The '48's didn't and they got cooked by the heat of the tubes.
It's looking good! Those are a total classic. Not only really unusual looking, but historic, and they play very well to boot! I read that these were the first collectors item TV sets, that's why so many exists today.
Remember to always do a soft power-up with these. Unfortunately the scarce CRT takes jolt when they're turned-on the normal way, much like a pilot bulb in an old radio. I've used a Variac on mine since I first got it.
