I've seen this early proto Philco in other pictures. It looks like one of the later '30's models as the earlier ones looked like standard Philco console radios. I would suspect none of these have survived.

I'd just love to see a photo of it. It's such a piece of TV history. I just don't get why some collectors won't even post an anonymous photo of a rare set. tubesrule 10-20-2019, 11:45 AM While not a lot of detail, those are contemporary pictures of the set in the ETF link. |
