What year/model is this Philco Miss?

Thank you. I have been trying to track down the real scoop for a while.

The chassis number would be a good place to start. That would be rubber stamped somewhere on the chassis. It could be three numbers like TV440 or one or two digits followed by a letter and more numbers like 11H60. In that case add 50 to the chassis number to determine the model-year.

The largest rubber stamped numbers on the chassis say: 3L60

A model number is usually on the cabinet back. (portables on bottom). That would begin with two digits (screen size) followed by a letter (year) then 4 more digits indicating product tier. 22D4420 for example is a 21 inch 1956 mid-tier console. Portable model numbers were shorter, for example E2004F was a 1957 14 inch red and white portable.

All I can find on the back cover is: 54-6765-2

The flyback part number is on the part itself. It will begin with 32-####-#. If there is a sub, that will be listed in the Parts and Accessories Catalog or sometimes in a service bulletin.

The flyback is pretty badly burned and melted. I've tried to find numbers with an inspection mirror but no luck. Do I have to pull the chassis to remove the flyback? How does that unit come out? It seems attached to some small circuit boards at each end. Are they built-in? ( I might seem like a flake for not pulling the chassis already, but I've got a pair of Ampex 350's on the bench that I've got to finish. I'm trying to sneak in the TV repair on the side so I can have it finished for my girl by Xmas.)

That is more than you may care to know. Give me some more info and I will try to help. Don

You can never give me too much info. More likely, I'll ask too many questions!
Big thanks for all this.
