    Description

    Vintage Philco 12 inch (probably) TV from the early 1950s, (possibly 1950 based on the model).  Metal CRT, all tubes of course. :)
    Fair cosmetic condition (can be refinished),  It was working as recently as a few years ago (just before DTV), but then the plastic base of the CRT popped off, literally while it was still turned on.  I think all the solder in the tube socket rotted or something.  There is still a chance it may be restored.  However, I could not detect continuity for the filament.  So assume this is a display piece or stage prop, or hop in your time machine and get yourself a new CRT for it. They are probably only around (in 1950 dollars, but make sure you have some old bills, credit cards won't be accepted). ;-)
    It's basically a table model, though there may have been a base at one time, long gone.
    Sold as is, no returns.
    Pick up only in Phila, PA area, no shipping, sorry.
    The dimensions of the TV (unboxed) are 18x19x23 inches including the CRT neck sticking out the back.  It is HEAVY.  Two people would be needed to move it.
    Thanks for looking,
