Philco 48-700 Double Wammy a bake & shake
It will be a while before this set lives up to it's reputation as the
"TV repairman killer". If finding that a imploded 7JP4 wasn't bad enough,
A further inspection of the chassis revealed a bad power transformer T100.
Careless preparation for shipping was the last indignation, How can anybody
ship a set without checking to see if the chassis was at least bolted down?
If any thing I was surprised to find no cosmetic damage even the safety
glass and printed logo was unharmed. I have a good 7JP4 that needs a base
and I now have a good base with a Philco logo that needs a CRT. As for the
power transformer well that may be rather difficult.
