I also own that set Jim. It came with a subscription of a classical music magazine, if I recall well. Good sound indeed. And well played.

Listening to . . . .Mozart Concerto No. 24
Artur Rubinstein - Pianist Orchestra conducted by Josef Krips Recorded by Lewis Layton An RCA Living Stereo LP issued in 1961  It would really be nice if new recordings sounded as good as this original pressing on vinyl from 1961 - Way before most of you here were born. Gorgeous music, beautifully played on a 61 year old record. Perfect surfaces, The album cover looks crummy but the record is perfect.
