Can anyone identiify this tv set?

It has a ge 10inch round CRT.

It appears to be a RCA clone of some sort.

Was about to say... the hv cage cover looks like RCA. Perhaps it is a GE licensed RCA?

Oh hey, in the 2nd pic, do you see how the front cover is held on? lol

Actually the way everything is clustered kind of reminds me of my Admiral.

That power transformer looks pretty big .... 25 hz perhaps?
RCA knobs, octagon crt surround like 721.

Im guessing RCA 721 clone for Canadian market.

Did I mention I am in Canada. Found a tag on the back of the power supply. It will work on 25 or 60 htz.It was built in Canada in the east. See tag and removable front face. It has two 5u4 on the power supply.

My set has a separate power supply with 2 5u4 tubes. I just got it and haven't got it out of the cabinet yet. Does your schematic show a separate power supply with 2 5u4 tubes?

The chassis does resemble that in my (US) RCA 721TCS console. This article has various photos that you can use for comparison:

Electrohome built all the Viking electronics in the 40's and 50's and also had their own Electohome brand name. The Viking's were identical in design with the exeption of a rebadge. Well made and and they worked well.
Cabinets were of a nice quality made by delicraft.

I'm the 3rd bc'er on this thread. Small world.
