1948 Philco 48-700

This tabletop TV has a 7" screen, and a somewhat large cabinet (14" high, 22" wide, 19" deep) compared to other 7-inch sets.

This was one of the first sets produced by Philco, in a production of less than 8,000 sets.

This set has not yet been restored to working condition.

1948 Philco 48-1000

This was the first Philco TV, in a production of about 25,000 sets. It has a 10 inch screen housed in a large unique designed cabinet. It was one of the most difficult TVs for me to locate and add to my collection.

This TV has been restored to excellent working condition.

1948 Philco 48-1001

This large table top television has a 10 inch screen. It has a slightly domed top and a concealed front panel that hides additional knobs. The insides of this TV are identical to the Philco 48-1000 shown above. I am told that Philco produced about 7000 of these sets.

This TV has been restored to excellent working condition.

1949 Philco 49-1002

This tabletop TV has a 10" screen, and a rather wide cabinet (25-1/2").

Compared to many of the other early Philco sets, the cabinet is rather plain; however, it is an uncommon set and I thought it would be a nice complement to my other Philco 10" tabletop TVs (even though it hadn't been on my TV "wish list").

This TV has not yet been restored.

1949 Philco 49-1077

This is the first combination TV/Radio/Phono made by Philco. I believe it is one of two or three different cabinet designs. Like most early Philco TVs, it has a small 10" screen.

The TV, radio, and phonograph in this unit have all been restored to excellent working condition.

1949 Philco 49-1278

This TV/radio/phonograph set is one of the nicest cabinet designs (in my opinion) of any vintage TV.

It still looks stylish (53 years later) and looks like it would have fit into any fashionable New York apartment of the era.

1953 Philco 53-T1854 17" Console

This console television has a 17 inch rectangular screen in a dark mahogany cabinet. Though not necessarily collectible (or valuable), my grandmother bought a TV just like this one when TV broadcasts first became available in the Portland area and continued to use this TV for the next 15 years.

This TV has been restored to excellent working condition and still produces a fantastic picture on all stations.

1959 Philco Predicta Barber Pole

This is the 21" floor model Predicta Barber Pole (or Pedestal) model. It was made in two wood finishes: dark mahogany (shown) and a blonde finish.

This TV has not yet been restored.
