Philco model 22D5102 color

“ Yes, I really wondered if TV123 chassis easy as ABC? More importantly: How many of these exist and how many are operational/restored?

According to the ETF and myvintagetv.com sites, 500 were made with just 6 known to exist. I can't imagine the Philco dealers having just one color model among many monochrome sets, then no color models for 5 years - The K5411 chassis 12L80 (totally RCA CTC11 in a very non-RCA cabinet). More questions than answers about how these were distributed, sold, given away as prizes, etc.”

I have found in my research of Admiral, Raytheon, RCA and Westinghouse, sales of these sets were under reported, under the shadow of colossas RCA. Example, Admiral manufactured 1000+ C1617A’s. A Westinghouse H840CK15 Was recently found with chassis #ME001062. The sources that report early color numbers should be updated.
