At an antique flea market in Grayslake, IL yesterday, I ran across Philco's first TV, a 48-700 table model. It even had a yellow plastic after market "magnifier" lens attachment over the screen, which made it almost unrecognizable. The seller wanted $150 for it. And I was tempted. Very tempted. But, having never tackled a TV, a 65 year old set, with what I'm sure amounted to a dead picture tube, had me skeptical it wouldn't become more than an expensive... and heavy... space-taking "static" display. Inevitably I left it there, but tonight am having the 'ol "maybe I should've" feelings of guilt. I suspect they aren't all that plentiful.
