My Philco TV collection
#1

I only have four, and am looking for more. I restored a 50T1403 and it works great. Ron, in an email you sent me a while back you had mentioned having a TV made by Philco.

I recapped mine. Due to lack of space, I had to restuff some of the cans. I was going nuts with this one. Details on my site.

I scored number four recently, and the CRT is good. I think this will be a project for this fall or winter.

I have a Transitone protable from the 50's. This was vairaced and produced a picture. This will get a full recap. Some hack "fixed" it before. It is not good when there are caps hanging in mid air.

Finally, I have a 17" swivel console. I have not done anything with this yet, but the cabinet will need refinished.

Philco made some good stuff. My hopes are for Philco to outnumber RCA Victor in my collection.
