Picked up a 1950 Philco combo.

This was on Cl for a while at $40 and I kept procrastinating, mostly because I didn't want to make the 70 mile round trip in my hot old van.

It came down to $30 on Thursday so I gave him a call this morning and went and got it.

It's a very basic Plain Jane combo, and the record changer is missing, I don't really care about that because i was mostly interested in the CRT, and as luck would have it that tests like brand new, it quickly hits 90 out of 100 on my B&K 466.

I'll probably use the tube in a 50T1403 I have, that's one of the Cathedral shaped sets Philco made and much more desirable than a low end console.
I have no room for the console anyhow.

I bought a nearly identical Philco a couple years ago for the same reason but the CRT had leaked to air on that one.
