Does anyone know what this WAS?

This cabinet looks kinda deep for a B/W, could it have been color? I don't recognize it at all.

I don't recognize it, but I'd say it's B&W and possibly a high-end semi-custom set like maybe an Ethan Allen or Rudolf Valentino Hi-Fi Co. The piano hinge and the construction of the cabinet make me think it wasn't a factory mass-produced TV.

Too bad someone gutted it huh? It would have been a nice looker being color or B/W.

I don't think it's a Curtis Mathes. If it's not big enough to comfortably lie down inside, it's not a CM.

I agree with MRX37, as CM cabinets weren't that elegant and well-built. (no offense CM collectors). They looked fancy, but most were built cheaply to look nice, like some Magnavoxes of that time. CM had nice slabs of walnut or mahogany on top, but that was about it.
