The 66 RCA probably has a lot of the same simplified circuits as BW sets became cheaper with color TV sales taking over. I also suspect Philco and RCA had swapped a few design people, being across the river.
That dot-kill switch makes me nervous. You have line voltage contacts up against contacts with DC.
Ok if if it lasted this long.

I replaced the across the line cap with an X2 rated safety cap.

I found 6 used 17JZ8 tubes in my stash. two were weak but a GE Compactron label improved the vertical somewhat.
