One of the tubes is branded TeleTone, so I'll guess that.

Nice classy speaker enclosure.

Bingo! Looks like a match! :

Other than the Philco 50-70x, I have never seen a 7" electrostatic set with the CRT centered. Thanks!

I've had a few chances to pick one of these up, but each time the condition wasn't so hot. On the other hand, they did have cabinets ;)

That's a tv-149 chassis, 1948 or 49 from teletone. Finished rebuilding one of these a month back and the cabinet is always sort of roughed up. From what I read, this was a cheap tv back in the day compared to the philcos and zeniths

Looks like a good buy, definately a 7JP4 CRT. If someone has good cabinet, it will make a good chassis for a lucky member to restore!

The Belmont 21A21 and 22AX21 (that I own) also have center-mounted 7JP4s:

National TV-7W also has the CRT in the middle:

That Tele-Tone cabinet is one of my favorites for a 7-incher.

Looks like my Firestone 13g3 it used teltone clone and cabinet. Only difference is it doesn't have accents over the speaker it also has that fancy cardsrock around the speaker
