Default Spotted Ekco TV set in Sheffield.

I saw this yesterday in a local Sheffield centre but could not find out the price . If anyone is interested in it , let me know and I will pass on details.
Any info would be of interest too.

I can only tell you its early '50s. I have seen one and probably worked on it but it was a long time ago.

Like Mike I think it does have doors. Look at the close up from your picture, it looks like the doors are folded back and you can see where the RH door pivots at the bottom.
