I agree. Philco's early b&w TVs were always good (I had a Microgrid 390 with cascode tuner in the early '70s that worked great until the base came off the CRT and the lead wires broke off at the neck, ruining the tube
) and, from the looks of the screen shots of the color set, they knew their stuff when color came along as well. I especially like the screen shot of the KYW-TV news anchor. I live near Cleveland, and remember when KYW was the NBC affiliate there from 1955-65. Good to know they are still alive and well in Philly as an affiliate of the Eye Network.
I also like the screen shot from CNN. Beautiful picture for a TV set as old as I am (I was born in 1956). It makes me wonder, though. How did you get that picture from a cable channel? I don't see a cable box anywhere on top of the set.
