I picked one of these up last year at a garage sale. Everything's in nice shape but when I pulled the chassis, figured it'll cost me about as much as a low-milage Yugo to buy the number of caps this thing has.

What was Philco thinking?

I got part of a raster on the CRT but something started sounding very, very bad around the power supply when I got the Variac up to about 90V, so...

Hell's supposed to freeze over around 2010, so I've purchased a good used(?) CRT in anticipation of restoring this set at about that time. Until then, if I buy 3-4 caps a week, I'll just about have what I need.

I've got the complete manual on this set so if anyone needs the Schmidt alignment info, etc., please let me know and I'll be glad to mail you copies with an SASE; please email for an address.

Thanks,
Michael
