Morning all.
I have owned this huge console Philco set for a while.
I have not been able to find any info on it.
The picture is a bit poor, sorry, it's covered by other stuff!
It stands about 4' tall with folding doors with a crm91 tube. Mains eht.
I had 2! But the other quite literally fell to bits with worm, but I have some spare guts at least.
Any thoughts on what set it is anyone??
TTFN.
Model A1708 ? I'd suspect the innards will be similar to the truely hideous A1707.
Wouldn't mind a photo for the website as and when you get access to the beast.
Early on, Philco made a number of monster sets whose size was way out of proportion to their screen size.
TTFN,
Jon
Hi Jon.
Thanks for the info.
I'll try to get access to the old girl and get some good images for you.
Would you be so kind as to forward an email via PM and I'll send them in reasonably high resolution.
Cheers
Rob
This one might be something special. The set will hopefully have Philco's own over engineered chassis which has mains derived EHT.
The surprise is the valves are Mazda, not the American ones you'd expect from Philco.
Till Eulenpiegel.
Well after a few months of tripping over gear, I desperately needed to tidy up the shop..... It looked like a dump.
Anyway. I got to the Philco, eventually!
Here are a couple of pictures of the set.
I had forgotten about taking any pictures until I'd bust a ball lifting on top of a 21" Murphy! Silly me.
I'll get Colin to help me turn it round next week and get some pictures of her 'guts'!
Here are the pictures
Fab set Rob! I didn't see it when I came down a few months ago, But I was very surprised by the picture quality of the Bush TV22 you showed me for a customer. I can see how you sit in there for hours watching star trek!
