Philco-Ford televisions,...how well engineered were they?

[sampson159]

the ford sets were pretty damn good.roundies had an excellent crt and the chassis was very well built and produced fine pictures right up there with the top brands.our first roundie was a philco ford set.very good performer and the picture was amazing.the hybrid sets were outstanding.early solid state were good but too many bad modules.we would have to go throw several before we got a good one.way too many come backs in central ohio.we had some really bad suppliers here.seems like we got bottom of the barrel parts.the sylvania built sets were good. they had the one piece chassis like the sylvania portable sets.fairly good quality.some had top notch crts while others were not so good.the early philco sets were pretty low level imho.
