It has some circuitry similar to the Philco 48-1000 like over-coupled IFs and split sound. It is certainly over designed compared to the Motorola and sold for considerably more so it is more rare. It uses a 60Hz power supply therefore it is not plagued with high voltage fade like the 50-701.
Philco TVs of that era used a number system where in the first two digits were the model year. The digit/s following the dash indicated screen size. It's worth a gamble, however limit your offer unless you can confirm that the CRT and power transformer are OK.
