This type of Philips tube radio has always interested me, but they are quite expensive and rare. They also follow a slightly different design and build philosophy to the German radios I usually work on. All that just made me more determined to get one, and here it is. This is a mid-range set, and a good place to start. It is also almost exactly as old as me, so this gets personal.
I wanted to follow my usual procedure, but also needed to know if it worked at all. In this first video, I'll power it up to check, after taking the necessary precautions to avoid any mishaps.
Hope you enjoy it.
