This is the set of instructions that came with the Philco 50T1504 TV set my grandparents bought back in 1950. Unfortunately it got water damaged so some of the pages are messed up.

the rest and back

Here's what this set looked like back in Xmas 1951 (to the left of the tree).

Great picture. Do you still have the set?

Unfortunately no. :( It was sold to a collector about ten years ago, so it may have been restored and in use somewheres.

My grandparents later bought a SC TV set, the model that had the continious tuning from ch2 to 6 and 7 to 13. There was a "band" selector ring to select these two ranges. That set got tossed about 30 years ago....

The Philco migrated upstairs to the bedroom.
