I have a Philco set that looks just like your did but it is missing the knob that goes on the right side about half way down. Did you happen to keep any of the knobs after you junked your Philco out?

Ha! I forgot it even HAD knobs down the side! But, no, in 1970 I never would have guessed anyone would EVER want any part of that set. I mean, I would have KILLED for color back then.

Although... it WOULD have been cool if someone had been around then to tell me why there was no HV. I was just too green to figure it out myself. I was MUCH more efficient at digging tubes out of dumpsters behind TV repair shops back then.
