Yes but the only problem is that the UHF Tuner is busted on the TV because one of the tuner's drive gears (which was plastic on metal) split in two and I couldn't glue it back together and the only way I could fix the tuner is to get that gear off of an old Philco Predicta from the same time period that also had UHF (because the Philco Predictas used the same type of UHF Tuner assemblies as the Philco Townhouses did). but as we all know Philco Predictas are few and far between when it comes to finding them and when you do find them (even parts units) they can run into the hundreds of dollars which I can't afford.
