Christmas 1951 at my grandparents' house. Note the Philco TV left of the tree.
Great picture, my Grandparents had a Philco 51T-1601 (brown cabinet) exactly like the one on Happy Days, I also have a great picture which I will try to post, It had a split chassis
and stood on a high 4 legged Philco wooden stand made for that model. Philco picture tubes of the day seemed to have used phosphors that produced a yellowish brown and white picture rather than the pure black and white of GE's. One of these rare green cabinet Philco's with factory UHF was sold on E-Bay. Unfortunately I am no longer in the acquiring mode and am now trying to rid my condo of stuff.
