Looks like an outboard power supply sitting in the bottom of the cabinet.

The town of Roosevelt, AZ was on 25 cycle hydropower into the 1970s. For TV buyers there, outboarding the power supply was standard procedure in converting the sets to 25 cycle. Of course this was done on BW sets, as color was not a big deal there yet.
