I'm surprised they did not tout the mechanical enclosure to keep your kids from touching the B+ rails.

The set shown in the commercial is a model 1581, which had a cheapie Japanese AM only radio and some kind of a low-end record changer. An Admiral Ensign or a Maestro IIRC. The Muntz dealers were a bait and switch operation. |

I wonder if any of those last-gasp Muntz roundys still exist?...I'd imagine with how cheap they were most were probably scrapped upon post-warranty failure.

I had a 23v Philco from that "SS" era and it was a very good set, one that I should have kept. They don't have a ton of transistors but some. Philco had set up its own crt plant around that time & I suppose it was easy for them to crank out a bunch of those 21" tubes. I found one (the crt, not the set) but it was a dud. Zenith bought the crt plant in the early 70's if I remember right.

Don Lindsley posted about that Blue Bell, Pa. plant once but I'm not sure if it was Philco's CRT plant.
After Ford sold Philco to GTE in 1974, I think Ford kept the Blue Bell plant for aerospace and car radios, known as Aeronutronic and later Ford Aerospace.

Those ads are priceless. Each has their own charms.. The Muntz is the best deal of the three, but if I were choosing back in the day, I would have gone for the Wards set. |

I saw "solid state signal system", and I think it meant the tuners and maybe the IF and detectors are solid-state.

The Philco hybrid chassis was one of the first heavily transistorized
sets going back to the mid 60's. Very good chassis & a great pix with the right CRT. IIRC only had sweep tubes & video out. Would have overlapped roundies so not surprised if they were in some. 73 Zeno LFOD ! |

The Philcos shown have 18 tubes including the round tube chassis. The only solid state is the tuner and IF strip. They didn't use a HV regulator and the 23's were hard on flybacks. |
