Those Philco Seventeeners were neat sets!
I had a couple of them over earlier years. One even still had the squeeze bulb remote control with some rotted out tubing that I replaced. IIRC that series of set was one of the few portables of the time that actually had the standard 3 pix IF stages instead of the ridiculously poor-performing 2 stage setup--such as made famous by Muntz and Hotpoint.
