Bingo, Hitachi-labeled jug, and a label inside the cabinet that says it was made by Electrohome.
The cabinet is metal, unusual for a set of this era. I haven't hooked up my CRT tester yet but it looks strong.
No sign of a chassis number on the back. Model is JCTV2312 Candle.
That's a Jerrold StarCom 7v converter and an analog flat-pan descrambler box on top. They came with the set. I had been wanting one of those descramblers for display purposes. I hadn't seen one in I don't know how many years.

The flat pan descrambler worked rather well, at that time.
It's been years for me too.
