No indication of what kind, although it has an ion trap.
But, I mean, the chassis does look fairly well made, the cabinet is fairly solid. Which is good, because that's about all there is left.
I'll have to see if I can find any information at ALL on this thing. A schematic would be very helpful. I'll have to clean up the chassis and hope I can find some markings as to what the tubes were supposed to be.
Still - it's an interesting device, even if it is probably doomed to be unusable.

It looks like it has a 17BP4 CRT, which is a popular one.
They sure didn't leave much. No speaker, grill cloth, knobs, tubes, HV cage or back cover.
