Wow !! That set looks phenomenal. :yes:

Pretty dern good, I'd say...

yes, and I did not even touch up the convergence static or dynamic. only needed a couple new tubes, and I replaced a couple caps, but I don't think they really needed it, they just tested a bit less than like a brand new cap, and I had already taken them out of circuit to test. Has the orig can cap.

its a real plain jane, I found an add for it touting the low cost practical cabinet, I am sure they were going for the hard core color tv holdouts.

good looking pics!my family had one of those sets.sharp picture.dad bought it because it was a philco ford and spanky mcfarland was at the store promoting them.we watched hollywood palace and mannix the first night we got it.didnt work the next day,(6kd6 went south),but on monday it was working solid again.we got about 8 years out of it before it was retired for a d-16 sylvania with slide controls.the philco was sold to a neighbor and they watched it for years.i jolted the crt a few times in 10 or so years for them and had a cap go in the audio once.good set and glad to see your looking so well

loved mannix.
I sure wish RTV would get the following

Mannix
Hawiai 5-0 (book'em dano)
The Avengers
The Man from U.N.C.L.E
Mission Impossible
The Saint
The Wild Wild West

Just for starters....

It's interesting that you mentioned Mannix. I remember my first job, at a bowling alley in Chicago, a couple of years before I got interested in old TV sets. It was 1978, and my family had still never had a color TV set, so I knew little about them. I saw the TV on in the bowling alley's bar, and a Mannix rerun was starting, so I stopped and watched for a couple of minutes. It was a color TV. That was the first time I noticed-the picture tube was obviously ROUND! It just seemed weird. :)

I still love the opening credits of that show.
