Does anyone recognize the chassis in this funky tabletop TV?

Is that a continuous tuner? Hard to make out the dial markings, exactly.
The mammoth speaker suggests to me that somebody transplanted a console TV chassis into a home-made cabinet. Seems doubtful that a kit company would supply such a big speaker. But if it's a transplant, what commercial TV had that tuner & knob configuration? Who knows, maybe someone just cobbled together whatever parts he could lay his hands on.
Something different, anyhow.
