Shango did one of these in his "pulled out of a ravine" series, a 19" set. Once he hosed all the mud and wasp nests out of it I was surprised at how well-engineered it seemed to be: modular, SCR horizontal, and a pretty advanced switching power supply for the 1970s. I seem to remember it had a pretty decent picture, all things considered.
I thought Philco was pretty much coasting by that point, so it was unexpected to see them taking big swings like the design of that set.
