Philco townhouse 19" b/w

Good work Adam! Thanks for sharing. I always wanted one of these and was curious what they looked like inside and about the picture quality.

I've got a bunch of those Philco "striptrols" - two and three pot varieties, should you want to replace it wholly.

Model number of the set, or a chassis number? (Helps greatly for the next guy looking for info....se4arch only works if we feed it intel....)

Thanks, I'm in the process of moving to WI, I think I'll take you up on that after I get there. (The post office has lost more of my rare parts in the mail at this address than anywhere else I've lived - I'm hoping this problem won't follow me to WI)

The models is 13J45. I don't know the part number for the knob. I don't have the Sams for this, only a partial scan of the Beitmans. (It's in Sams 650-2, and the 1963 Beitmans)

Your Striptrol is, according to Sams, a 33-5600-3. I have 33-5600-7 and 33-5600-11, both quite different.

My striptrols start at 33-5595-8, so most are post-1965 or so. I bought a Philco/Motorola dealer's stock back in 2003, mostly in hope of finding a W-I-T-D Motorola. The Philco stuff was nice, but who needs 300 Philco transistors or pots?

I think this is a nicer set than that Seventeener III I used to have, not being a hot chassis. But all these Philcos from this era despite having cool looking cabinets, all seem to have weird problems, like that bad control, or bad tube sockets...
