If you look at one of the pictures in this auction you can see the patent label which shows the set as a TRK120. The problem is with these sets now it's hard to say if RCA was reusing parts (which was typically done), or someone restored it incorrectly.

Visually from the outside the only differences are the focus control position, the elimination of the eye tube in the radio, the toe kick and the placement of the decal.

Oh what a mystery. I guess any part of the cabinet could be restored incorrectly, but wouldn't you think it's unlikely that the bottom of the cabinet was changed. The RCA Victor decal and the patent label seem to be out of place in regards to each other. In your experience is the decal under the lid the same decal as the one on the front of the set?
