I though some of you might get a kick out of seeing this Philco booklet showing off their TV accessories for 1953.
It was apparently for "Industry" people and not the consumer.

Thanks for sharing that Eric, I sure wish I could get one of those Philco toy trucks for my son.

Well all you gotta do is buy $100 worth of Philco parts from your Philco Distributor and it's yours!

How I wish we could still find those parts as easily today.

Me too! I've spent more time looking for parts than sets.

I was newly manufactured as well back then in 1953. One to 3 months of age. Born August 53.

I second that! I've tried restricted my radio collecting to Philco. I love their sense of design. So neat to see the old advertising.
