Believe this is your Trav-ler model in this 1957 ad.

Great ad, cool to see!

Just noticed the tuner and other knobs in a different location than mine!

That's what I was referring to. The earlier models had the knobs as shown.
For a lower end set, they had a voltage doubler design.

May have been a year earlier or later model.

It really was a marvel of engineering that they were able to cram a 17” picture tube into a 15 7/8” wide chassis...or so says the ad!

It was built with TARDIS technology!

IIRC most Travelers were built by Admiral so they use the same knobs.
There are only a few different shaft sizes so you can use most
anything as long as its long enuf.

I didn't see any resemblance to an Admiral set.
I seen a Sonora and a Wards Airline that was similar, even the tube compliment, but it was obvious that it was made by Sonora.
They were still better performers than the low end Ge's.
