Wedged the yoke in with some leftover dowels (shims) that I had from a speaker-recone kit.

Worked pretty good and the set is working well after some maintenance (cleaned the tube sockets, pots, etc and set up the width, height & linearity) but it's got some issues with the IF stages and I don't have the equipment to line em up again.

It's definitely watchable but the vertical is a bit jumpy and it's tough to tune the sound in line with a clear picture. In the first of these pics you can see the retrace lines at the top.

Looks good Tom! Those Philcos are a lot of fun.

Thanks, yeah it is a cool little set. It's the type with the swivel-handle w/ built-in antennas. Darn good shape for a 52 year old set too!
