Hi, I have recently acquired this AWA model D 51 console. Its in a cabinet that has 2 doors on the front and when closed looks like a nice piece of furniture, the cabinet is in incredible condition, almost as new rosewood. The TV has vertical collapse and no audio. I believe the set had not been turned on for about 20 years.The motorised tuner works and so does the remote.Can anyone here tell me when this set was manufactured? I'm not sure if I have the room to keep it so if anyone is interested in it let me know.

Made some time between 1961 and 1963, I think. If you can get the back off, you might find date stamps on the tuner, transformers, or other major components.
