It seems like I've seen something pretty early from C-M that just used the Mathes name. I could research some Sams but it's always too late by the time I get on here!

You can see the knobs here: Thread on my C-M set

The pic below is the logo on the tube label inside the cabinet. There is no logo on my set - only a plate reading "Curtis-Mathes Hi-Fidelity"

I'd venture to guess C-M wasn't too consistent with their branding & logo placement this early on.

CM's b&w chassis were quite long. AUdubon's chassis (looks like Model 10) and mine (Model 8E) are very similar. The one Eric has in his CM combo would be the same as well. I don't think I've seen a smaller CM chassis. The cabinet that's in the CL ad would be just long enough to put one of these in.

The CRT looks like one from a Philco predictor if I'm not mistaken....

Very close indeed, but the corners on the 21" Predicta tube are slightly more rounded.

Nothing else turned up on this set? I tried emailing the seller while I was on the East Coast a few days ago. Now I'm near Mississippi, and have no reply from seller regarding this set. Did anyone else try getting a response about it?
