That would have to be very early possibly experimental TV as the next step was the cathode ray tubes as used in Oscilloscopes then the magnetically deflected Picture tubes that have been used for around 60 years.

I am wondering if it is actually some form of mirror drum type? Not much into TV. The mirror drum scanner goes back to 1907.

Likely an interesting bit of history

Hi.
It is probably a rear projection TV,the three oil tubes will be the three CRT,s which are liquid cooled.
Cheers John
