It would have been interesting to see the label on the CRT.

If you look closely you can see this set has remote control, the motor is visible, probably a wired remote but still interesting.

My guess is one of the kits available back then, possibly installed in an Admiral cabinet.

They beat the Predicta Tandem by five years on that one.

That top CRT is pretty squared off for 1954.
That remotely placed chassis as remote idea is older than that. I've seen late 40's-early 50's electronics mags with articles on custom sets like that, as well as ones where only part of the chassis was placed remotely (safer than running xx' of HV wire).
