Interesting it's similar to the chassis in mine but looks like the cabinet like it will allow chassis removal out the back....yours uses a 14" CRT and mine uses a 17".
I remembered I made a thread about the red one.http://videokarma.org/showthread.php...ghlight=philco

Do it! Do it do it do it do it do it!

But seriously I love all of those metal-cabinet cube-like sets from that era. Everyone and their mother made one.

I had a Philco Seventeener II once and had a terrible time figuring out how to get that thing apart. A bet if I had the Sams it would have made more sense.

Great, great haul! If all you picked up was the 48-1000 that would be more than enough. There really isn't much I'd grab these days but that would be on my short list.

Same here. That was just about the last set on my list.

Metal rectangulars look weird. At least the few I've seen...

Wow that is sure a nice 4th of July.
Love that little Firestone.

I just did one of those philcos minus the uhf tuner. The chassis came out the front complete w the crt with some wiggling. Was tight, has wood spacers holding crt . Was my 1st tv resto.
