Thanks

I suspect the CRT is an early rectangular model, maybe a 14 or 16"? Possibly/probably metal? it looks like it has an insulator around the front.

The 12UP4 is a round 12" metal tube, used in Zenith Portholes only afaik.

My Hoffmans have the channel tabs with the stations also, mine are from Los Angeles.

I don't know what the chassis is like on this one, probably similar.
They are really nice sets in my opinion.
