A little late and half-ass but I finally got my Philco TV-123 dialed in such that I have HV again and cathode current is low enough that I can safely run it for hours...



I also got the HV working significantly better on my probably only surviving example Capeheart CXC-13...It should be at 25KV instead of 20-23, but it's much better than the 10KV it was making with the previous owners flyback lead mixup from them removing it for silly reasons. When I finish redoing the cabinet ( that has to wait till spring) I'll tackle that and some color and tuner issues. Just happy to get it off the Philco so I can stack another set there and free up floor space.



Anyhow Merry Christmas too all and to all a good roundy tonight!

Are the Philco and Capeheart essentially RCA clones?
Merry Christmas!

No, and possibly.
The Philco is it's own design. It was their first color set and they only made 500 before they gave up and bought complete chassis from RCA they stuck with RCA chassis until around 1967.

The capeheart uses RCA patients and resembles a developmental design RCA had between the 21CT55 and CTC-4, but is not directly either design.
