I picked up a couple vintage Philco TVs over the weekend.
This is a Transitone portable from the late 50s. I'm not sure about the model # since it's blank on the back cover. I like how it uses the same knobs for Vertical and Birghtness as Predictas

The other looks similar to 37silverstreak's 51-T1601.
It has an all glass 16LP4 16" CRT and a metal cabinet. Rather pretty I think

I haven't had a chance to test the picture tube in either yet. I sure hope they have some life left [Image: http://www.jawaspot.com/smilies/pray.gif]
