I was just thinking that it has a Wells Gardner look about it, Western Auto Supply marketed "Trutone" as it's private label brand, and had a number of manufacturers make sets for them. I think that Grimes Phonola/Dominion Electrohome used to build chassis designed by U.S manufacturers under license, I have one that is an exact copy of a U.S Radio and T.V "Gloritone" model 27, with that weird upside down chassis, but in a slightly different cabinet, branded as a "Dictator" the Hudson's Bay Co. private label brand.
Happy Christmas
Happy New Year
