Looking around online I see something called a televisor also appeared in the serial Brick Bradford (1947). The cast includes Wheeler Oakman (Tarnak from Trip to Mars).

In 1947 the idea of device similar to a television would not have seemed as novel as it did in FG and other serials of the 1930s. By 1948 the Texaco Star Theater with Milton Berle was on television, and by 1950 shows like Jack Benny and Burns and Allen were on the tube.
