19" Magnavox color table set

Hi all,
Back in June of 1974, my parents bought our first color tv. It was a 19" Magnavox table set. It was unusual in the fact that the only controls on the outside front of the set was the channel knob and a rocker on/off switch. It had the big metal channel knob, with a black plastic fine tuning/UHF channel knob in the center. The VHF channel numbers lit up in a small square above the channel knob, and when you switched to UHF, a large display lit up to show the channels in a log rule type display, like an analog radio. As you turned the black knob, a light slid up and down to the number for the channel. The volume, brightness, contrast, etc. controls were behind a black plastic door under the picture tube, like a Zenith, and they were all slide controls. The cabinet was all plastic, in a Pecan woodgrain design. It was an all tube set. Does anyone know what set I'm talking about, and does anyone have pictures of this set? I haven't seen another one like this since my parents got rid of it in the early 80's, due to needing a transformer.

Thanks for any information,
Frank
