Well folks, I have talked about where your old TV's go and you wanted to see a "collection" so here are the pictures! About 5000+ SF of them, will be broken down to plastic, glass, copper and boards and sent to China. All kinds and models but I look for the rare ones. RCA, Philips and so on! Tractor trailer loads of computers and monitors go through here weekly. Many still work if not broken from being tossed in the palletainer. I look for special ones but only found a 4 tube Zenith chassis but it was stripped and had been left out in the weather.

What model was the vintage B&W set in picture 4?

Hi Bill,

It looks like a 1952 (53?) Philco. They made some metal sets with a painted finish (and we thought only modern sets were 'cheapies'!).

I have the faceplate listed on the audio karma B & W page. I believe it is a 51-910T as it is identical to mine. It is worth keeeping but I have too much already unless someone wants it. Yes, it's a Philco.

Thanks, I thought it was a Philco. I was surprised to see it in the pile though. Such a shame.

It is a Philco! It is touted as a Philco in the B & W section.

Now I understand, this is why all the new stuff is crap. They are probably making the new sets out of all the old crap then our companies are charging us thousands for it:D
