I just so happen to have Sam's #74 set. It says 10BP4 everywhere until you look at the tube list, where it says 10BP4 in models TV-30, 799, 899 and 12LP4 in 930 and 940. Note that 895 is not listed. Sam's website calls for 74-3 anyway. I can't imagine it's much different though. I'd imagine the 895 is the combo unit version, which the model label on yours agrees with. Likely it either has provision for audio input, or lacks the final audio stage because it would be in the radio chassis.

You already mentioned that it might've been in a custom enclosure in a bar, right? Maybe someone got a little crazy and changed the crt to the bigger option (which would make sense for public viewing). Or, hey, maybe the crt took a dump at some point and they replaced it with a bigger one. Either way, that front cover might actually be for the 10" version, maybe that's why it seems so small. Cuz 895 is much closer to 899 than 930/40.

idk
