From the magazine "Journal of the Electronic Industry" published by Dempa Publications, the "Evolution of Television" June 2010 issue. This TV produced in 1952, priced at Y290,000 ($3,222). page 9. It also says that a civil servant just out of high school earned a starting salary of Y5400 ($60), but it doesn't specify if that's per week, month, year or what...

The screen area & basic shape reminds me of some of the early Motorola sets.

The knobs look like Hallicrafters, but not the layout. It's a really sharp looking set that doesn't closely resemble any US set I can think of.
