Late 50s philco curb find

[RobtWB]

Following this Philco thread makes me wanna get that old Philco 50T-16xx a going - but too many projects right now - maybe by spring.

I wonder --- If I removed the 16AP4A --- and set one of those little marvel 15" - 19" lcd sets up against the mask ---would anyone but a television collector know the difference??? Hells bells I think I could set one of those $ 69 Philco branded vhs/dvd palyers from Target on top of the beast and most people would believe they were made to go together!!!
