Michael,

The 2500 is real neat projection set, I have one restored and it has one of the best pictures of the projection sets I have. The spherical mirror is the critical optic piece of the set, mine had an excellent spherical mirror but the flat "keystone" mirror was pretty hazy I was able to cut a new one from a new HD projection mirror.

Be careful if you need to clean the Micro-Lens screen, it is covered with a plastic film, the service manual recommends dusting only with a soft cloth

Be prepared to replace a load of paper caps in this one, electrolytics were fine. In fact so far of the five '48 /'49 Philcos I have restored the electrolytics were all good.

Chuck
