There was a version of this set with digital tuning and remote control...looks exactly the same except it has a flip open panel at the front side and a remote control. The digital tuning version has cable capabilities and a 75 ohm input.

I saw the screw that releases the small side panel. I assumed it housed UHF station trimmers. I haven't opened mine up yet. Is it also possible to replace the UHF letters with numbers? Similar sets came with number inserts that you could put in once the UHF channels were preset. I once made some inserts for a Sharp 19" set that I had found and fixed up. My parents are still using it five years later. I'm looking forwad to working on this set. I know it's not yet collectible but the unusual tuning scheme makes it interesting.
