Hudson TV - is it Wells Gardner???

Hello All, new here.

I have a 1950's cabinet TV that I bought many years ago at an antique shop going out of business. It came with an antenna and even a jade leopard TV lamp. The TV is not functional and the power cord was scary, like it would burst into flame just plugging it in.

It's branded "Hudson" for the Hudson Department Store in Detroit, but trying to find who actually manufactured it, and if there are any schematics available.

No model shown on the deteriorating label, but someone once wrote "WG 070". I once thought maybe it was a Bendix, but now wondering if it's Wells Gardner.

Any thoughts, or can anyone provide direction?
