This Bakelite 9 tube, single speaker radio is made in Holland (The Netherlands) for the American market by Phillips Inc. The Bakelite case and other parts have been thoroughly cleaned and polished but not refinished. Everything is original including the speaker grill cloth which has been cleaned. The original Norelco emblem is also included.
The chassis was removed from the case and all parts were well inspected and tested. Any defective capacitors were replaced, any resistors out of specifications were replaced and any weak or dead tubes replaced. The panel lights were replaced. The magic tuning eye was replaced with a new equivalent and now shines brightly and responds to station strength as it was designed. Bass, Treble and Volume and push button controls have been cleaned and lubricated. They all respond well. The pressboard back is in good shape. There are no cracks or damage to the case and the original paint on the front bezel is in great shape
This radio is an Export model having the full FM range from 87.5 to 108 MHz. It also has a "gram / fono" button that will allow you to play from an external device such as your phone with the proper cable.
