The underneath of the chassis looks very similar to a 1950 GE console chassis I restored. GE ran a large isolated ground bus and used series string tubes instead of using a power transformer. It seems to me that with all the labor required to wire the ground bus, the transformer would have been cheaper. My console set also had an AM/FM radio where GE used one tube for both the RF and IF amp when FM is chosen. GE seems to have always used cheaper designs. (I have seen an ad for the console and it was $500 new-not a cheap price in 1950).
Anyway, the restored TV and radio work fairly well.
