Philco-Ford televisions,...how well engineered were they?

[AlanInSitges]

As coincidence would have it, just today Shango uploaded a new video of one of those Philco roundies that he found in the desert someplace. He's going to give it a new (to the set) CRT after cataract surgery. Solid-state tuner and IF, tube everything else. I thought it was curious, as the entire chassis is "backwards" with the HV cage on the left and power transformer on the right.

Maggie and one or two others built them mirrored too.
