Philco rescued in Minnesota
Thanks to Greg for going to save this for me, it was headed to the trash heap! :yikes:
Still a nice stereo out there for someone: http://stcloud.craigslist.org/zip/2232081199.html :thmbsp: Don't know a whole lot about it just yet, other than it works and probably has some vertical deflection issue. Check out the pics, I trust the forum sages will have more info on it. Anyone got a Sams on this thing? |
2 more pics.
|
yep that same as mine, SS tuner and IF, the rest is tube.
|
Good thing I picked it up yesterday. When I drove up it was sitting outside. Anybody that has an extra leg, let Nick know. He's missing one. :D
|
Wow, that's pretty clean inside!
|
These are probably the most modern roundie ever built. I'm really happy to see this one saved. Regarding the leg, post a good photo and some dimensions. I have some, and others probably do as well.
|
Looks like someone stuck the chassis in backwards :D
Nice save! |

The legs are 16" long from the top of the wood to the bottom of the feet and 1.75" diameter. They are painted grey.

Sure does, huh? Every other set I own has the HV cage on the right as you look at it, this thing must have a pretty long anode lead. |
I believe that is a 1968 model. Acordng to the september 1967 popular science issue I have Philco brought back the round tube that year to have the cheapest set(screen size per dollar) on the market. Here is a photo from the magazine.

That looks to be it.

What a great find!. I love those leader models. Are those legs certainly the originals? They look too long to be strong enough for proper stability if someone fell against the set.
|
Chassis # 17MT80 makes it a '67 model.
|
I recall Wards had an Airline 21" color roundie on display at the front entrance to their store. It had a black hardboard cabinet and gray plastic trim & knobs. $299.00. Absolutely a price leader set. This must have been in the very late 60's
