 That picture has been on eBay for years ! I'd bet the OV-20 is brand new as where he's working is right where the socket terminals are . I'll guess the picture is of a new install .

https://www.ebay.com/itm/192192121464  Stamped OV-20's came out around 1949 which is apparently the same year of the picture .

So i guess it is a new installation, although that listing seems to be a bit deceptive because it doesn't seem like the original picture

 The listing clearly says your buying a digital copy of the original picture

Apparently the $21.20 is for a 8x10 print of the original picture, with the digital copy available for $75.

Most city archives have a similar service. The Toronto Archives sells digital copies for $26.24 (CAD) or 8x10 prints for $30.00 (CAD). Low resolution digital copies (1050 x 734 px) are free.
