    Description

    This is a really cool VTG 1959 Antique Philco Safari Television.  The 1st Transistor TV - Brown Cowhide Leather.  Model H2010.
    I don't know whether or not it's in Working order so I'm trying to price accordingly.  Information is more difficult than you would think being that a lot of these are owned by museums.
    The top strap/handle is detached from one side.
    Easy fix.
