Same knobs and brass center cover but I think that one is a 54 model, probably pretty close electronically.

BTW, I got this set from a Thrift Store a few blocks from my House, they called me about it because I had left my number and told them I was interested in old TV sets.

I tested the CRT at the store and knew it was weak but the set was so immaculate otherwise I bought it anyway.
I've since found a rebuilt tube to put in it, from a relative of Charles no less.
