It looks monsterous. Why is it so big? What is on the chassis anyway?

It has a Philcoish look about it. I later saw the loktal tubes which confirms this. Any idea of its origin?
Was Colonial owned by Sylvania, by the time, the set was built? They leaned toward locktal tubes, as they and Philco developed them in the late 30's.
