I really do like this set-Philco may not have had much life left in it but they did okay. Those type of tuning indicators are pretty cool; I'm not even sure what I ever saw (in person) that used them. I did have an FM tuner years back with an "exclamation point" tube. Philco-Ford was big on green dials, starting maybe a little after this one was made and continuing into the 70s. Some friends of ours had a solid state Philco-Ford console that was probably their first all transistor color line. It had the same green dials as the great late 60s P-F console I had.
