Dave, good job on the Philco!
Don't you just love Philco, their extensive use of Black Beauties, the mix of Octal, Loctal, and Miniature tubes, the cramped chassis's...
Whats the difference between the 50T-1403 and the 50T-1400?
The only obvious difference I can see is your has the painted screen bezel with brass trim and mine is just a clear piece of plastic.
I took the channel selector bezel off of a 1404, not sure if it's correct for the 1400 or not as this set has a dot for a channel indicator underneath that brass plate.
The CRT I put in this set is an inch shorter than the 12LP4 I took out but it's unmarked so I don't know what it is? 12WP4 maybe?
Don't know if it will work either
