6,250 model 53C sets were made, yet they do not seem to come up for sale too often. I've owned two, and neither one had the original wooden back. I have a photo of one now, so one of these days I'll attempt to replicate the back for the one I now own.

The cabinet of the one I now have was in very bad shape when I bought it. I refinished it and repaired it as well as I could. While not perfect, it looks much, much better now.
