I'm not a member, so anyone here that is, inform them that the set shown is a Travler. They had a plant in Indiana as well as Chicago.

If so, what makes you say it is a Traveler, what year, model, any other information?

Around a 1956 or 57 model. It had a low B+chassis, one selenium rectifier.
The one I worked on had UHF. Hard to remember from 1964 or so.

To add more nonsense to the great TV debate! I might be slightly mistaken!
Regarding the set looking like a Magnavox, they bought Sentinel in the later 50's. They made private label sets, for various retailers.
Now, it's any ones guess!

The mask looks Magnavox-ish to me. The name can't be read, but I'd say it is not Trav-Ler. The Trav-Ler script is divided but that name does not appear to be. Magnavox put their script in the CRT mask, on the bottom.
