Description from the seller
Philips Philitina HX 347 A Table Radiogram (1954) – Near Mint, with Manual, needs service.
A rare and exceptionally well-preserved Philips Philitina HX 347 A table radiogram from circa 1954, offered in near mint condition. This highly collectible mid-century design combines a valve radio and record player in one compact unit, making it an early and innovative “all-in-one” home entertainment system.
Produced by Philips in the Netherlands, the HX 347 A is notable for its elegant streamlined form, white front panel, dark brown Philite casing, and distinctive transparent Perspex lid. Its clean modernist design predates many later iconic European audio designs and remains a true eye-catcher for collectors of vintage electronics and industrial design.
This example comes from a private collection and has been exceptionally well cared for. In 2013, the unit was professionally serviced. The radio receives clearly, and the turntable functions properly. The transparent lid is remarkably well preserved and virtually scratch-free, which is rare for this model. The red felt platter, original tonearm, knobs, and internal components are all present and in beautiful condition.
A major plus is the inclusion of the original Philips Dutch user manual, which is rarely still present and adds to the completeness and collectibility of the lot.
