The cabinet is much nicer, and the price is more inline that the other one.

About 1953-55; Earlier ones were set up to accepted a cabinetted slide in TV. This one looks like a larger screen unit was used.

I'm guessing earlier: 1950? My Dad's Maggie has a newer Webster-Chicago changer and the copper plated faceplate, and it appears to be 1951 vintage. He did not opt for the TV, as there were no TV stations available when he bought it. This one looks just a tad older. But the cabinetry is nicer.

I was also considering the combination AM/FM receiver in a later configuration and the space taken up by the television set. The older units were cabineted units placed in an alotted space in the console. This unit appears to accomodate a un cabinetted set of larger size, with ventilation provided at the bottom of the opening.
