What brand is this

Friend sent this fuzzy picture, wanted to know what it is.
I searched google until my eyeballs are just as fuzzy!
Looks like a late 50's early 60's B&W. Might have been a table model set on a home made stand. Caster wheels obviously not stock.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Dan

To me, it sure looks like a GE, 1957 model year. The stand looks like it has a GE logo on the right side of the faux speaker grill.

Looks like a GE to me also, I think it's a bit later, maybe 1959 and one of their slimline models. The control layout is the same and it looks like it could even have the giant co-axial speaker.
It might have been a Hospital set or a commercial model hence the casters.

Definitely a GE. I had a similar one years ago in my first apartment.

Great!
Thanks for the input. Thought GE might be it, but knew you would know for sure.
Appreciate it. Now I can sleep again!
