Somebody save this RCA Victor S1000, 1949

[Penthode]

Alas, what makes this set interesting is that it was manufactured during the infamous "War of the Speeds" period eg 1949-50. RCA delayed getting the licence for the Columbia LP until 1950, much to their regret: RCA had the finest classical record library which was not suited to the short playback duration of the 78 and 45 RPM disc. They lost much of the market to Columbia in two short years.....

The question is: does the turntable play 33 1/3 RPM discs??? Or is it RCA's last hold out on the 78? Notice that the changer does not appear to have a turnover cartridge!!

The last interesting thing is the knobs on the TV. Note that they are the 1948-49 "cat's eye" design. By mid '49 RCA changed the knobs to the brown round plastic except on the high class projection 9PC41. I suppose the luxury of this set warranted the same?
