Anybody ever have a Philco that didn't need to be rebuilt?
#9

Actually, this wasn't a debate on whether to rebuild or not. It was more a statement on sellers claims and in my case goes back before there was an ebay. Many times a seller would assure you a set works works when it was really nonsense. I was amazed that this 37-670 actually worked. It still does even today although it will get rebuilt when I get time.
And talking about weird sellers, about twenty years ago, I found a junk store in the Manyunk section of Philadelphia (which today is built up with night clubs and art galleries) and the dealer only wanted to sell me his "Philasonic" TV which was actually a 17 inch Predicta. He wanted too much money; I turned it down.
