Now that I have two of these units (one with a 10BP4 and the combination with a 12LP4A), I am wondering how the Philco TV sets compared to others of thier era? I have noticed that Philco sets seem to weigh more for a given size than some other makes of the same size and the chassis in my 12 inch model looks a bit like a tank. More like my 1947 GE than my 1949 RCA sets! So, can these sets be made to be relilable enough for casual viewing without constant headaches? If I ever get them rebuilt that is.... The 12LP4A in the 49-1275 I just rescued tests very good.
No matter where you go, there you are.
