Hi. My name is Sam...

Sam,

Welcome to the TV funhouse. Those two were great deals for such nice sets! I wish I could find an S-C tv, they were top-shelf stuff judging by the posts here.
There are many Philco experts here - sometimes I pretend to be one because I rescued so many at the curb in the 70s, here in Philco-land.

I can relate to having the little ones around this hobby. My barn-garage and attic are off-limits unless I'm there too. Nothing gets plugged in unless its via isolation transformer.
Once you get either of those working, they will probably want to watch some cartoons on them...lol My "crackly radios" are a big hit too, but only when there is music playing.

Dave

PS The wife should be happy you don't have a car hobby, that stuff really is hard to hide!
