Cool set! Never seen one of those, but the name rings a bell.

I also forgot about the Mitsubishi "Predicta". It was a 12" black & white set from the mid-70s, with an umbilical cord from the base unit to the CRT cabinet. But it's a plain, square fake woodgrain box, and the high voltage supply is in the tube cabinet and not the base. The base has the tuner, IF & video, plus AM-FM radio and mechanical flip clock. But it's "sort of" the same idea, I guess.
