@bandersentv That's true. I think it's a beautiful thing when any TV over 50 years old is restored.

@singlejeff69 My princess set has HV issues, but I haven't tracked down the source yet. The flyback on the parts chassis I picked up looks kinda cruddy too. If by some chance they're both good, I'll let you know.

Came across your video of the Predictas,,I have a 100% unmolested original Red Princess. Still has the original back cover,,,but the set needs the flyback x-fmr,,i have cobbled one in from a motorola and it did make high voltage enough to lite the tube. Do you have any parts ?? Jeff k.

I bought one that looks older than that for $25 way back when, but I have to store it in the basement. Not good. Haven't uncovered it for years.

@ProperLogicalDebate I believe they made these sets from around 1958-1961. You should pull it out and take a look. They are very popular with collectors.

That's such a shame. There was a time once when Philco made quality products. Outside of the US they're still around. But it's a memory here.

@enigma413 Oh, it's nothing to do with Philco really. These sets are over 50 years old. No TVs that old work properly without an overhaul.

How hard is it to just find a similar model with not too bad damage?

@enigma413 They all suffer the same problems. I doubt you'd ever find that that works correctly on original parts. Even if it did, it wouldn't for long.
