Was this a TV show prop? What Show?

[rld-tv01]

I brought this about 12 years ago from someone who advertised it as a TV show prop. I was going through photos of my suff in storage which got me thinking again what show? I originally thought it was the 1950s show Johnny Jupiter which was about a kid who picked up the planet Jupiter on on his TV set (DXing?). A robot was sent to earth and the kid communicated back and forth with Johnny on Jupiter.
