Gaack, at least it was a common Philco.
I thought the artwork was actually pretty good, to gaudy for most people to put in their house but good in a cartoon sort of way. |

I'd like to offer them $125 for just the guts of the TV, if they would let me smash the abomination shown in the pictures for free.

Six sticks of dynamite would improve the setting.

Why do you suppose it is that we never actually see any of these idiotic projects in their completed stage? The ads should just say:

This is pretty much one of the reasons why my vintage TVs here in North Bay are "Private Property" and "No Trespassing" to the general public for the most part except to those I can really trust in this city and who I can really trust in general. No offense to any fellow AK'ers here. Just doing my job to make a lot of valued-or should say highly valued members here on Audiokarma who highly prize vintage TV sets and put in a lot of well spent hours working and restoring those vintage TVs and proudly showing them off like a mint condition '57 Chevy Bel-Air or a mint condition 1953 Corvette

That looks pretty much like most of the 'art' I see in this town. I've noticed that in Chicago, "I'm an artist" often means "I want to feel better about working in a coffee shop at age 35". (though we do have a few that are the real deal).

Recently in Adamstown PA I saw a 1950 12 inch bakelite TV converted to a TV Clock. The chassis was completely gone with a 5 inch digital clock stuck in the center of the 12 inch screen. He filled the screen outside the clock with a lighter color plastic. The bakelite cabinet looked brand new and had the original knobs glued on. He wanted $45 for the TV clock.
