I don't have the room to save these, but maybe someone out there does. I love that Admiral in a bakelite case, I've wanted one of these for a while. http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-TVs-3-Ea...QQcmdZViewItem

I'd like to find some type of round screen B&W TV from the late '40's or early '50's; but, these are too far away, as usual. The two (7" Motorola & 10" rca) that I used to own were so butchered up that I finally gave them away. I think we got our first TV station in '53, so, sets older than that are very rare around here. I've seen several on epay; but, the shipping worries me as it seems like a great deal of sellers don't know how to pack and I can just see my "new TV" getting here in a million pieces!

I think that Philco uses the 12WP4 "Neoscope" CRT.

More often than not, unless the seller is willing to pack correctly, which is usually more trouble than they're willing to go through. And most sellers have no idea how to disassemble a set to ship in pieces. I've been sticking to local pickups lately after a string of nasty delivery crises and near-misses.
