I had a Philco "Briefcase 19" portable TV from 1961 back in the '70s. I believe it was a successor to the Seventeener. My set worked quite well, and in fact was a temporary replacement for my Sears Silvertone roundie color set (RCA CTC12 clone, IIRC) when that set developed serious problems (the video output tube socket broke out of the video PC panel with a sickening crunch when I tried to replace the tube).
