Got the set in the house and started giving it a look.
I found a repair tag inside with an address in (maybe) South Gate, the City Initials are SG and that seems to be a good match.

The location is an Apartment Complex but it may have been houses back in 1959.

Brought the set up on the Variac, (seller told me he had plugged it in and got nothing.) at around 80 volts I got some sound and the Horiz oscillator kicked in so I bumped it up to 90 volts and got high voltage and light on the screen. The CRT was so dead originally it probably wouldn't have lit, and by the way it held up great overnight, hooked the Beltron back up and all three guns shot up to full emissions very quickly, the life test is about 12-14 seconds before they even start to drop off so I think the CRT will be useable.

The chassis is remarkably clean and it's a CTC9A.

A finding of note, the "Artists" who painted it also signed their work!
Check out the last picture.
