Next to 630 it's a total departure in the design "theme" of the pre-war line. There's isn't another year before or after that RCA diverted so obviously in their styling theme on their a line of radios or TV's.

The electronics design is very post war and is basically a stripped down 630. Anything is speculation at this time as far as the cabinet design goes. It could very well be that something along the lines of this cabinet was designed pre/during the war by Vassos. It may originally have been larger in order to house pre-war electronics and was shrunk along with the chassis post-war. In this respect it might be considered pre-war inspired, but of course this is just speculation.
