Nice TV.
Historical correction: Philco never went bankrupt. It was absorbed by Ford in Dec 1961. Fords primary interest was the space and military sector to combine with Ford's Aeronutronic business which it did. Philco's Philadelphia TV plant continued in operation through 1975. It also expanded car radio production in Lansdale and Sandusky.
The bubble top TVs were only one product in a full line of TVs and appliances. All consumer goods accounted for 66% of Philco's total volume in 1959. That included Kitchen, Home Laundry, room air conditioners and Brown Goods (all TV, stereo and radio) Portable TVs did very well, high volume and profits.
