I found it at a local flea, It does power up and has a good bright picture tube.
I may go and recap the entire thing,
It is VHF only.
Metal case and glass CRT,, No label or model #.

I can tell you it's probably Japanese, there seem to be a lot of these or variations under lots of different names.
I could swear I even saw one with the Hallicrafters name on it.

I got one called a Tele-O-Master, I can't remember who made it but it had some major brand tags inside, Sony or Hitachi maybe.

It very well built and like yours still fires up. It seems to have been modeled after the 1957 GE 9" though I suspect it's from the 60's (and it's built 1000% better)
