I know that chassis.. It's all-transistor, big non-modular chassis, and it was a good design. VERY RARE though... Only ever seen 2 or 3 at most, as compared to the RCA CTC-40 and Zenith 25DC56, etc. They were very costly, as you'd expect with that nice cabinet. All 3 I saw, were in that same cabinet, so might be that it was a one-model chassis.
