Hello everyone,

I recently brought home a 1973 Philco TV in near perfect condition (my first vintage TV so im new to restoration!).
It worked great all weekend, minus recieving only static because I hadnt yet attached a digital antenna or VHF receiver.
This morning I turned it on and all I got was a dead screen, no static or anything. I tried turning the vhf uhf connectors on the back, turning up the brightness all the way, but the screen is blank. 
Is it an electronics issue inside the TV? Maybe something got knocked loose? Any help would be greatly appreciated! What a great TV and I would love to get something on the screen!

Thanks,

Rod
