This is the first commercial Philco color offering. It was introduced as a 1956 model. The chassis is TV 123, model numbers run 22D54XX series. That looks like a decent example, all the knobs and clean cabinet. It is all Philco design with lots of unique parts. It uses a 21AXP22 metal CRT like the RCA. Not much else is the same. There is a good chance the CRT is OK since the sets didn't run long enough to wear out the picture tube.
There was a field mod kit that provided a box full of part and circuit changes that greatly improved reliability. Once the back is off, it is easy to spot the upgraded sets. It is a worthwhile restoration and has collector value. Good luck if you get it. You will have plenty of help from forum members.
