There are a number of comments that it's similar to the TV-11 which BAMA does have:

I realize that this is an old thread, but just in case, I thought I'd let you know that I just got mine out of long-term storage. I've just now brought it all the way up to 120 vac over the last 24 hours of break-in. It seems to work (I tested the line adjustment, as shown in the photo), but I haven't tested any tubes yet. I just need to find something that needs testing. I think this item is completely original and in great shape, all things considered. If you need any photos or other data, please just ask. Also, thanks for setting up the original post and what followed.

Thanks
