1948 RCA ''THE BERKSHIRE'' BREAKFRONT PROJECTION TV CABINET: Developed by RCA, made by Baker, it housed AM, FM, phonograph, and a projection television. The electronics have been removed from this cabinet and a faux drawer front replaces them....... Hazeltine Corporation Mahogany cabinet made for an RCA Victor Festival Series #1026, Model Berkshire Range entertainment center. Provenance indicates that this cabinet once belonged to Joseph Roessler, a prominent Cincinnati businessman in the 40's, is 1 of only 1000 ever made. Consignor Provenance states: ''This item was purchased around 1947-1948 from the Hazeltine Corporation, and was originally used as an entertainment center, having had a 25'' projection television, a 78RPM record player, and a high band radio. It was a RCA Victor Series #1026, Festival Series, Model Berkshire Range. I spoke with a curator of RCA history, located I believe in Princeton (and I think associated with the University), and he told me that this was the ''top,top, top of the line'',
