What set is this?

Anne Francis with a set that I couldn't identify, but looked familiar. What is this?

It isn't a TV. No channel selector. Might be a telemetry monitor. Could be a panel with some knobs randomly placed.

The actress is Anne Francis. The scene is probably from the TV show Honey West.

To clarify:

The image attached to post #1 is a TV. The image in post #2 appears to show a prop technical-looking instrument panel, which may have had a rear-projected image when filming.

Google lens was a total flop - identified Anne Francis as Julie Andrews and the set as an RCA CT-55.

Hi Folks,

I think, that the electronics in the second picture byside the beautiful woman is nothing!
Just something made for a science fiction.

I follow the roofline of the truck, compared with the side from the open door (with door contacts at the top!), the sets are not deep by the cabinets.

Second, the upper "tape recoder" has a counter, but when the reel is spinning, the tape moves over the counter for a limited time: miss-construction!

The knobs under the "TV-screen" are not symmetrical under the screen!
There are long scews or something like that, just byside the handle (at her elbow), you will injure yourself, when you try to remove the set from the rack!
There are no functions given under the controls........

The buttom set has the handle close to the center of the unit, but the 4 knobs/screws in line are the same like the upper set AND in line with the other knobs/screws!

Fake machinery!

Regards,
TV-collector
