That thing is a MONSTER! It's actually a prewar set, which was halted before production and held over for the '46 model year. I had one which was rescued from the home of Lon Cheney Jr. when they were bulldozing it about 20 years ago. The DuMont was so heavy, that the developer's cleanout crew just left in the house to get bulldozed. Luckily, someone on the demolition crew recognized it, and it was saved. I got it working nicely, but loaned/gave it to a collector friend due to space problems. WATCH OUT: That set has a direct HV power supply, which will deliver a fatal amount of current, AND it has big enough oil-filled caps to pose a fatal shock hazard as well...
