My model is a cheaper version that does not tilt up and down, just side to side. Where that cross bar would be attached on the sides of the crt shell there are just metal plugs. I have read that LOTS of these sort of sets were made for sale to motels, etc. I bought mine cheap, under $50 IIRC. To get it working I had only to replace the fusible resistor. I'm sure it just has a bad cap or resistor but its so hateful to fool with. Its a conversation piece, though. My wife loves it and is always telling people about it. Interesting that the next line of sets to come out of Philco was the "Cool Chassis" line, designed especially for airflow. Lesson learned? I really like Philco but they sure seemed to lose their way as the 50s went on.
