NOTES |
The front view really doesn't give much impression of the size of
this radio. However see how dwarfed the valves are in the rear view.

This is a very early VHF set, possibly Philips first attempt at
VHF, but certainly not their first attempt and rediculous audio feedback
designs. Note the, erm, "creative" connection of the output
pentode's grid leak resistor. However, the addition of switch S24
is a nice touch ; it's ganged with the main off switch, immediately
silencing the set when the set is switched off. |
But
true to Philips form, there are plenty of complex mechanics to get to grip
with. The extra cables for rotating the internal ferrite aerial are one
thing, but the wacky tone control is something else. As the tone dial rotates
it not only moves a musical note up and down but also flips a switch that
controls bass boost while adjusting the treble. At least I *think* thats
whats going on ! |
