Another whatisit

Me on the left. Brother Chuck on the right. Brother Danny uninterested. Pic at grandma's apt in Rockford, IL circa 1963. I am guessing a Philco from Hedrick Electric...the Philco dealer and a family friend.

Indeed, 53-54 Philco with UHF.

Very likely a '53-'54 Philco. It looks like the center drop panel door might be open. The flash really washed the CRT picture out. Being a decade old it was probably getting a bit "soft" anyway.

I think that is the UHF tuner in the middle:

The delux version of the slide-rule dial with the prism* for easier viewing from above, when tuning.
