1953 Philco 53-T1886 Code 125 AM/FM/Phono/TV Combo
#5

I picked it up today, and it says on the pencil-box cover Philco UHF on it, and there appears to be a 4-position bakelite knob on the back of the set and I'm wondering if that knob is supposed to be the UHF Knob? But the weird thing is that the VHF Tuner knob doesn't have a UHF Position, just Positions 2-13, I wonder if the UHF Tuner is triggered Independently of the VHF Tuner on this set?

Obviously the UHF Tuner working or not doesn't matter anymore because of Analog TV being no more but if I wanted to try and do something with a Blonder Tongue Modulator at some point in time that would be handy to have the UHF Tuner functionality.

This TV is not very big surprisingly enough, it only comes up to just below my waist height wise and width wise its only about a couple of feet, way smaller than my 2 color consoles I have.
