and so it begins...
Just by chance I was recently given a pile of Sams photofacts that included this set
I wonder if Philco was involved with this chassis design since it has their typical rubber corner shock mounts. Also has a couple loctal tubes.
Very solid construction. Handy that they stamped all the control functions into the chassis.
The 10BP4 and almost all the tubes are Westinghouse branded
Time for a slow, controlled power up.
After about an hour, I got up to 110 volts and was treated with this on the screen.
Very strange to have high voltage with no horizontal deflection. A side effect of the odd design.
Probably also why there are some spots burned into the screen.
