SEARCHING FOR A PHILCO FULL DRESS CONSOLE!!!
In any condition folks!! come to find out my very elderly grandmother (87) had one of those back in the day and her seeing a full dress ad I recently purchased, has her asking every time I visit the home if I’ve found “the most valuable piece of my collection”!? she’s very in and out with early onset Alzheimer’s but I wanna be able to tell her I found this & show her!! IN A PERFECT WORLD SHED LIVE TO SEE IT RESTORED! MY ONLY PLAN IS TO RESTORE AND LOVE IT! TOP DOLLAR PAID -Blake Hinkle (I have several philco sets id be willing to trade if that makes its more interesting for anyone) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Never heard that name applied to any philco.
Might help to post a picture and or model number. |

It had the better chassis with the transformer and 5U4, but the same lousy CRT. It was a sharp looking set. I don't remember if it had the channel selector knob that popped up to turn the set. It was neat but another trouble source. |

Yeah you guys are all right on the money! This is one in real life that turned up on google! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e3c73d54ac.jpg I have the black and white ad mentioned above! Looking for one in any condition in the worst way! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Philcobah -- check with Steve McVoy at the Early TV Museum. He may have a beat-up one in the stash of old sets. I saw one there a couple of years ago...

Yep, the blonde one in the back. Last I knew it was still there.

If the one at the ETF is for sale and you don't buy it before the lunch break I might try and buy it. The styling is growing on me.

Well I got exceptionally lucky and definitely snagged that blonde In the back, although I’m not entirely convinced it’s not a light pale mahogany color as the regular blonde looks much more yellow with even the crt cover and this one was a different color altogether. Regardless thank you so much to everyone for the help; I had been working on that seller for 6 months prior to etf was just afraid he didn’t want to let it go. Fast forward to today and in addition to the rough etf set I scored an immaculate mahogany one in Maine!!! Thank the lord!! :) updates on the restoration soon in another thread!

The mahogany full dress and then the ash white/blonde one! You can see the quality difference.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
They're both gorgeous! Congratulations. That's one of my bucket list TVs.
We look forward to lots of details about the impending restorations! |
