I agree it's a 53C. The vents in the top were a decorative solution to the heat generated by the tubes, and the extra vents probably, as Bob said, a mid-production design change. It does look to have a cabinet in less than original condition, a previous owner's probable refinish . Looking forward to your restoration threads. All in all a nice project! Take care and BE HEALTHY! Gary
