Truetone was Western Auto. Western Auto, like Sears, did their own financing for their products. Color TV was very expen$ive for the average American at the time.
Sears sold everything including cars and pre-fab homes.

Odds are it has a 21FBP22 or GUP22. The 21FBP22 doesn't have any glue holding the safety glass on. Instead there's a rubber gasket around the edge of the safety glass and the mounting bracket holds the safety glass to the face mechanically. The older FBP tubes usually weren't frosted and were reflective like the one in this set.
It's pretty rare for even well taken care of 21FJP22s to not have some visible cataract these days.
