Nice '51 Zenith in Bristol, CT. Kinda works, too.
Crappier one just like it sold on eBay for $360.

First one is a 16-incher, the combo set is a 12-incher, 1950 model.

It's a 12-incher, because the bezel extends beneath the knobs, and is painted a burgundy color... Tough to see until the photo is blown up. I attached photos of a 12" console, and a 16" combo unit.

The '51 uses the metal 16GP4, and I don't think those are too awful hard to find. The '51 model has plenty of room to stick a glass 16WP4 in it, which I did do on one set. It requires some ingenuity to support it properly, though.
