UHF was an option. At the time, your Philco dealer could have installed a UHF tuner. There is likely an unused socket somewhere on the chassis. This would be where the UHF tuner would have plugged in. As far as the vertical, Philco loved micamold caps. These were just as unreliable as the paper and plastic caps they used.

I restored a similar era Philco with new mylar and electrolytic caps. It performed like it was supposed to. If you have any questions or would like it restored, email me.
