Found a Philco TV, AM/FM radio and phonograph at my local Flea Market. Price listed is $50. Model # is 53-XXX. Should of wrote it down! Is is worth it? Looks to be complete with knobs and tubes. Nice piece of furniture! I don't want to get in over my head but the price seems right.

thanks
Chris

Go for it. The only concern I would have is the CRT. This should be before those wonderful couplated found in the Predicta and later sets. It should be an easy restoration.
