Offered is an original Philips Philetta B2D53A vacuum tube radio of German production, manufactured in 1965/1966. This model is among the last classic Philetta radios and impresses with its timeless design and its characteristic tube technology.

The radio is in very good visual condition with only age-related signs of use. Notably the dark brown plastic case with decorative walnut-look that gives the device an elegant and high-quality appearance.

The dial illumination works flawlessly. In a functional test, several stations could be received even without an external antenna connected. With an appropriate antenna, further improvement in reception is expected. The original on/off switch has, during use, been replaced by a pull cord switch.
