we had the same set with a modern style small console.right around 1966-67.they delivered it saturday night.we watched the hollywood palace,mannix,news and the all night theater.the next morning-no high voltage!they came out tuesday and replaced a horizontal output tube.back in business!this set lasted about 6 years and it was replaced with a sylvania d 16 slide control.that philco became my set and i reluctantly sold it to some neighbors down the street.the picture was so good on that set it was amazing.lots of friends would come over to watch it with us.many compliments,especially when wrestling and roller derby was on.those were fine,fine,days.

Before I do anything else, I am going to make a degausser coil and give it a good degaussing. then I will check.
I am going to buy some 22 gauge wire, and wrap around a form about 18" until its about 1/2 thick. Thats about what I recall them looking like. After that I will go ahead an pull the chassis and look over for caps and out of spec resistance. There was no bypass cap on the vert osc tube so I will check it with a new tube and if need be adj the pot. There are a few board mounted electros so I will check them as well as the cans, although I suspect the cans are ok. I vac out all the dust so I could see things better, no obvious problems. I am assuming the tuner is a waffer switch type. it will need some cleaning. its got a few 6GH8's which is fine since I picked up a bunch of NOS ones at a local hamfest (a bunch of rat shack life time tubes).

That model looks to be from the pre Philco-Ford days...see if you notice any date codes. That yellow sticker on the CRT kind of dates it.
As for the CRT remember..21FBP is a non bonded safety glass tube while the 21FJP is. You can remove the tube and clean between the two surfaces quite easily, there may be a sort of rubber gasket around the two surfaces but it's not glued or "sealed" in any way.

back on it again, need a tuner cover, it was not on the set when I got it.
The color and convergence are spot on but one gun kept coming and going. I had a intermittent short on one of the 6GH8's, so I pulled the chassis, cleaned it up real well, replaced some coupling caps (brown drops that tested a little funky on my eye tube cap tester). the electros tested fine but for the cathode bypass on the audio out (open). I replace one just because i had taken it out fo circuit for test and the eye opened a little slower than a new one. the pic was pretty snowy, I am hoping the cleaning if the contacts on the tuner will take care of that. I can't imagine what happened to the cover. Is it possible that with out the cover it could cause the snow? anyway if anyone has a spare cover they could send my way just let me know how much. I would like to get it on now that I have the tuner cleaned up.
