It is a Philco 48-1001 model. The TV worked decently on analog broadcast back before they cut it off in 2009. I think after that i only turned it on a handful of times to make sure it still "fired up".
Now that i have the modulator set up, I have been operating this TV more frequently. I have other TV's that pick up the modulator's signal and they display nice clear pictures, but they are newer, 1970's being the oldest I've tried so far.
The contrast is not low on normal operation, its just when the picture fades out during darkening of the scene or transitions to other scenes, the retrace lines are shown. The picture is relatively clear, with the major problems being a touchy horizontal stability and some sort of picture shift to the left. I don't recall changing any resistors during the initial repair years ago. I'm going to get the chassis out, dust it off etc. and try to find the SAMS i bought for it back then to get started.
