As I recall, the hybrid chassis worked OK. It needed fresh 6BL8s, in the chroma circuit, to keep it looking good. The 19 inch version seemed to have more CRT problems.
The 100% solid state Philco-built color chassis was short lived because Ford sold Philco Home Electronics to Phillips in the early 70s. The TV plant was closed in '75 and subsequent Philcos were just rebranded Sylvanias. Soon after, Sylvania, Magnavox and Philco were all the same. True 100% solid state Philadelphia-built Philcos are rare. More TV123s may survive today.
