Guys,
I just acquired a Philco Seventeener II TV. It is in very nice shape. No dents and pretty well taken care of.
Here is a shot of the insides. It is very clean but a little dusty. Looks like everything is in nice shape. A few tubes have been replaced other than that all the rest look like Philco originals.
Here's how the CRT checked on my BK 467:
Wahoo! It should give a very nice picture. The life tested very good with the needle going down just a little less than 1 to just over 1.4.
This just might be my next restoration. It'll be a nice change of pace.
