Info on Philco 91D Highboy
#3

Hi Tillie and welcome,

I would remove the chassis from the cabinet and have a look at the underside. That's where you can see what work has been done to it over the years or not. Refrain from turning it on as it can cause damage to internal parts or cause a fire...

To remove the chassis there are 4-3/8 bolts under the chassis that have to come out. Remove knobs by pulling straight out. Loosen or remove the small screw that is above the speaker plug on the back of the chassis. Remove speaker plug. Slide chassis out. Flip it up and take some pics. Post them so we can get an idea what's been serviced.

Worth, if your thinking of fixing it and selling for a greater profit I would sell as is. As a rough number I'd say about $100 as is. Maybe $150 in good working order. Have to find the right person for the highboy cabinet set.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!

Terry
