Yes, post some pictures please. Most of us here love those TVs built in teh big factory at Tioga and "C" streets in Philadelphia.
I once had a 1969 Philco-Ford 25" color set w/chassis #19QT87, the picture tube IIRC was a 25XP22 and it was near dead at 8 years old.
Got it from a neighbor who had it on all day, every day. I used it for a while but got sick of having to turn off all the lights to watch it.
It did not have a tuning eye but did have the one knob tuner with blue-green channel numbers. It received fringe as well as a Zenith did too.
I still have a 1967 Philco 19" color luggable with chassis #17KT50, weak 19EYP22 and flyback that runs hot. It was a great attic set when there was analog, it pulled in everything with rabbit ears. I used it for an hour or less. It did NOT say Ford on it. I found it on a rural trash pile in 1978, took it when I moved to Texas in the early 80s because it was such a great receiver. Its now in my workshop but hates a signal from a DTV converter.
