Cromwell TV

[decojoe67]

I've seen that name TV listed in the guide books, but know nothing of it's origins. Likely a house brand for a large department store. 1949-50 sounds right. A lot of serious vintage TV collectors like those odd named sets.

The CRT is already rectangular, so it must be from 1950 or later.

I may have never heard of a Cromwell, but since its obviously rare, its sure worth restoring in my book!

Good score

The tuner is unusual, as it uses two 6J6's.
IIRC, Hoffman did that, but I don't think it's a Hoffman. The tube location states RMA source code 60?. Can't see the last number.
Could be a Tele-King or one of the less-known east coast makes.
