Hi Mike,
I've come across these sets in the past and never bothered to actually acquire one because, well to be honest they ain't pretty, but I do know that they perform very well indeed.
The Philips 1446 and 1746 were disappearing fast when I entered the TV trade in 1960. Everyone wanted one of those new "slimline" TVs. Big boxy TVs became valueless.
