Hi Mark
I also have one of these sets and I`ve always thought it dates from 1950.
Your set has the later crt with the evacuation seal in the middle of the base connector so it may have had a replacement crt.
This is an easy chassis to restore but the three 25k slider pots can cause problems.
The LOPT is reliable though .
