The Philco was delivered yesterday by Eric's Shipping. It is in excellent condition with only a few light scratches in the finish. The picture tube checks like new, it's Philco branded. It appears the set was used for a while as most of the tubes are non Philco, I'll have to check date codes to see when the last ones were changed out.
Set has UHF tuner installed with a projection style dial, channels show in the small window at the top of the vertical trim covering the controls, it is black until the tuner is switched to UHF position.
I tried bringing it up on a variac, but got nothing except filaments. I did look under the chassis and it is full of black beauties mostly split and leaking. I'll try to get to this project after the 15" Philco is running.
