It looks like a Panasonic to me; circa early 1980s. Also sold as Quasar.

It has one tube - the CRT. I'll second Panasonic/Quasar from the early-mid '80's. If that's the one that uses the TLF14421 flyback (which I think it is), you probably should leave it alone. Every one of those sets that I've seen had either a bad flyback/HOT, bad CRT, or both. And, they were also bad about having loose solder joints.

Seller probably just doesn't know better. My father, as much as he has been around me, still thinks late model TV sets use tubes. He is not alone by a long shot.

One thing I find is they refer to the SS CRT as tube tv instead of flatscreen lcd etc

The channel selector knobs remind me of the (once) ubiquitous RCA XL-100, although I'm not sure if a set that large, or one with a full wooden cabinet, was made.

That looks just like a Quasar set I have in the shed. It's nothing to write home about. I've tried to give mine away and had no takers.
