Phil,

All the prototype and field trial Philco sets I have found or known about, (15" color prototype, 3 prewar field trial sets, and an "Apple" prototype), have all been in the hands of retired Philco engineers. The 48-2500 field set also was from a Philco engineer.

I guess the execs had no interest in them.
