Bob, that bakelite case is beautiful.

[@mikefinn2101]

I love it awesome find Bob will love to it work again

[@WC0125]

I love them! Throw caution to the wind and do a Shango on it! Yes, I'm joking but those are some cool finds. It's good thing I'm not closer to visit the swap meet or my truck would go home full. Living the mountain west, we didn't have TV till about 1954 so I rarely find anything as fun as you did. Enjoy them!

Interesting that one is badged Philco and one Philco Television

[@69Dartman]

Hopefully you end up with enough parts to make one nice one.

If it was not for the ascetics of the Philcos I would not give them the time of day. There engineers spent more time skirting patents than making a functionally superior performing set. I did like their early solid state color TVs. Very easy to service. Good picture too...

service information Call shango ! I real like his mining videos

So lets see if I ve been paying attention. 1950 7" set ? Oh ya my glass cleaning trick No water 0000 steel wool ... Then windex. Give it a try No mud

[@PerspectiveEngineer]

Oh bing! Thankx Im learning

Ya that was great Alway like a good look At the set itself. Big fan of Our Miss Brooks 52-56 I think. The big crossover years From radio to tela plays So you still get the jokes Without looking... listen to old time radio since the 70's And they did a bunch of Tv related shows on both Formats Rammbling now But love what you do Just like to see more glamor shots of these old beauties. Thanks for saving history! That some used to think of As old garbage. A fan.
