Found: Pair of TV-123's

[Steve D.]

In my reply on Facebook to Nick Williams' post regarding his finding a table model Philco 123 color receiver, I speculated that perhaps this was a one off set. I have since found in the Oct. 1955 issue of Popular Science magazine an article on the 1956 color receivers. Included is the $895.00 Philco 123 console color receiver. Also mention in the 123's write up is that "a similar but slightly smaller "consolette" model will sell for about $100.00 less." If this set is one of those consolette models it is truly very rare. Or perhaps even a one off prototype.
