I am negotiating this 1950 Philco with a friend, but the TV no longer has the back cover, would anyone here have a spare that could sell me?

If that is a 17" set then I may have a back. I scrapped out a 17" split chassis Philco a few years ago (cabinet was in really lousy shape and I needed a CRT and yoke), the cabinet was different IIRC, but it was a console...If I still have the back then you are welcome to it.

17 inch indeed. If you still have it, I am very interested.

I found it. It is 22"W X 19.75"H, the neck cup is dented, and you will need a new cord for it...Assuming it fits. I don't know if Philco kept their backs a standard size or not so I strongly recommend you measure your set to confirm it will fit before you buy it. If you want to buy it then I would like $25 for it, and you will be responsible for the shipping charges too.

I will ask my friend to measure the back of the TV. The TV is 700 kilometers away from me.

He says he will measure on Sunday. He owns an antique shop and he only opens the shop on Sundays.

I've sent you a PM, but you said it is better for you to discuss this via e-mail. My friend measured the back of the TV and I think your cover may fit.
