WT> JS> Back in the mid 50s there was a TV set made by The Philco Corp.
WT> JS> that had the crt in a separate compact cabinet which sat atop
WT> JS> the console containing the tubes and wiring. If you saw this
WT> JS> device today, you would ask, "Where's the keyboard?"
WT> Funny you should mention that! I just bought one at a garage sale.
WT> I'm planning on rebuilding it (Good old tube technology! When I was
WT> getting my training in the Army, I was in the LAST class that was
WT> taught tubes), and giving it a place of honor in the family room.
WT> It will be just the thing for watching all of the B/W movies and
WT> fifties/early sixties TV re-runs on TV!!!
Don't laugh! A freind of mine bought a reconditioned one, and it's worth
a small fortune as a collectable item!
