Hi all, new guy here although I've been on A.R.F. & Audiokarma for years.
I'm looking for any info I can get about a Philco 49-1280 Television.
It's a 12" TV with a radio and two speed phonograph.

I've been unable to find any advertising or literature on this model other than the Beitmans "Most Often Needed" book which says it's the same as the 49-1278 but in a "Custom-Classical" console type cabinet.

It's a very large and VERY heavy set in a very well built cabinet with Veneer inlays and brass hardware.
There are a lot of 1276 & 1278 models floating around but I've never seen another one like this.

I'd like to find some vintage ad's for it or dealer literature and also find out what it sold for back in 1949 and maybe how many might have been made?

I've attached a couple of pictures taken while it was still in the back of my truck, it was hard for three people to load this thing up, I had to remove the TV chassis so two of us could unload it

Thanks much for any assistance you can offer.
