[QUOTE=Don Lindsly;3099270][QUOTE] I really don't remember a Philco, that the CRT, wasn't cabinet mounted. I just used to pull the yoke and use my test CRT.
The model in question, was the first to use the one piece chassis and full power transformer and 5U4.
Never was a big fan of the split chassis jobs, even though, I have one in my collection.

The 1956 Miss America TV 440/444 and the 7 inch 50-701/2 are the ones I recall. I may have missed one. That 440 was one of the few chassis that was not carried over to the following year.
Split chassis were over-engineered and had high manufacturing cost. The flat chassis (1955 on) was built in the new factory that closed in '75.

Now I remember that big, heavy beast. IIRC, it was a 24". It was an upright chassis, like the Admirals of the day.
