I've got one of those cheezy cheapo Travler portables... model 17P6000 (Sams 501-2). I found it in a little junk shop on the north side of Corpus Christi... not too far from where my ship used to dock every week. The set wouldn't come on in the store, so the lady let me take it for a whole dollar!
After returning to the ship, I got Sparky's tube tester and found an odd-ball 5B8 tube burned out. Was able to get one the following week and the set powered up fine. I used that set on the ship for a year before bringing it home. Surpisingly, it held up rather well against the ship's vibration while empty.
The name plate is missing that used to be on the front CRT bezel. On the inside, the tubes and CRT were all labeled Travler. This set looks just like the one you have taken apart, Andy. I guess mine used to say Hyde Park on the front as well.
