Anyone recognize this set?

[Steve McVoy]

We recently got this set, and were told that it was a Teletone:

However, I can't find any Teletone like it in Riders.

The chassis is very much like the 621. I did find a few sets that used a similar chassis in Riders vol 3 and 4, but nothing that had a cabinet like this one.

Any ideas?

Hi Steve,

Never seen that set before but perhaps the chassis is more closely related to the 721?

The 721 has the mini tubes but also has the resistor housing.

The basic chassis seems to have been used in a lot of sets, my 48 Coronado uses a 721 chassis but unlike the 721 it has a fuse on the back apron and a PM Ion trap instead of the EM.

I dunno what it is, but I think its very attractive & I like it...

SAMS set 57 folder 21 shows a Tele-Tone TV249 and chassis looks like that. Sams also sends you to same folder for TV209, TV210, and TV259 but shows no pictures of those so maybe its one of those????
Channel numbers on those sets show 2 and 13 at 9 on a clock face.

I look at the 721 as a 621 with updates

I don't know any details, but that is an official teletone. Gary Miller has one, and I think I've see a few others.

Kind of looks like a Raytheon to me......
