Ariel Cabello

This Philips radio comes from my own collection, type BX480A, from 1949, with a nice bakelite case and original buttons, logo, front cloth and back panel. The somewhat convex sides and top give the device a warm look, amplified at night by the scale lighting - please see the photos.
What's also remarkable is the fact it has 4 KG bands next to the LG and MG. It also has inputs for a P.U and extra speaker.  Tone controls are also available. Tube layout is: ECH21, EAF42, EAF42, EBL21 en AZ1. The radio has been fully checked and restored to original condition where needed. THe original grill cloth has some fuzz on the bottom left, but nothing bothersome. It's been set to 220 V / 50 Hz and it works. The price at the time was 260,00 Hfl. Size: 440x310x230 mm. Weighs circa 10 kg. Pick-up is preferred in Amersfoort. Shipping will be registered. No guarantee for proper functioning when shipped due to fragility of the tubes


In authentic condition, complete, original and works fully.
