My 48-700.....RUNNING !!

[rca2000]

These are a couple pics of the Philco 48-700 set I got last week at the ETF live auction..I was told it had been restored electrically and WORKED...

They were NOT KIDDING !!

One pic shows the set at reduced voltage...to "reform anything" that might need it..

The True Grit pic is at near full line voltage..

Very nice!

It's funny, in all my years of collecting, focusing on vintage TV, I've never seen one of them working. That is awesome. Someone put a lot of time into it. That model has proved to be fairly rare, and usually found in rough shape.
You have a real gem there! Enjoy.

That came from my personal collection, which I have been thinning out. I'm glad to hear my 10 year old restoration held up, I hadn't had it playing in about 5 years.
