Keyed AGC, deal breaker?

Does it look like this one?



I'm a fan of the early DuMont sets that use an Inputuner and provide integrated FM radio. Not many companies did that. Am I right in guessing this is an original Andrea design, rather than a DuMont clone? That would make it somewhat unusual, at least in my book.

With a 16" CRT, that must be one hefty tabletop!

That's the one. I'm not familiar with DuMont at all (or any 50s TVs to be fair) so I don't know if it's an Andrea design or not.

It is indeed fairly stout, and the chassis takes up all the cabinet space. The GE console I have has a chassis much smaller than this Andrea has.
