I have a similiar Philco, probably the same except for the cabinet. Maybe this was a "clean out the warehouse" set, to get rid of round tubes and loktals! Yep, loktals were cooked up by Sylvania, I think with Philco's input, and you will find them in heavy use by Zenith, Philco, Silvertone, but not many others. I kinda like 'em.

I had mine working more or less but now it just has a blank raster. I think it still has some black beauties in it. This one should respond well to recapping; the dual chassis is handy as it takes up less space on the workbench. Kinda like tackling 2 radios instead of 1 TV.
