Pnilco TV Phono 1951 with 12wp4(neoscope).

Funny thing is they were used in Philco's lowest cost sets, importing them from Holland seems cost prohibitive?

I have a working model 1207.

WOW! Neat set! I hope you have the knobs for it.

I read once that the 1207 was the smallest round tube set that Philco ever made... smaller than their 7" electrostatic sets... could that be true? My 50T-702 is about 15" wide x 14" high x 18" deep (counting the CRT cup)... I would have a difficult time believing that the 1207 is smaller, but it might be possible, seeing how close the tube comes to the edges of the front panel of the set.

I've only seen two of those sets, in all the time, I was involved with TV sets. Never saw one working.
I also never knew, that the CRT was of foreign manufacture. I don't remember seeing a label, stating so. The chassis was one of the few at the time, with low B+ and not a voltage doubler.
