The 22RF870 is perhaps the most impressive receiver that Philips has ever built. Made in 1967- 1969 . This was the MOST expensive radio around. It cost more than a standard car!!! This is the holy grail of the tube radios! This chassis, which originally was built in a piece of furniture and under the type number F9X38A , contains a stereo FM tuning unit, a separate balance power stage with 4xEL86, a reverbeo spring and even a mini-scoop for the balance setting! (Scoop at the left of the scale). I never seen a scope on another radio!! At the end of the 1960s, this was the most expensive combination, with record player and 4 big speakers it was built into a beautiful piece of modern furniture. The tuner is an old acquaintance, namely the A6X38AT, and has four shortwave bands, MW and LW and of course the FM band to 108 MHz. Remarkable is the giant dial, consisting of three parts. The conversion of the frequency bands is an electro motor and the chosen band is visible because of a light next to the scale. The 22RF870 has all the possible and impossible functions that one could wish at the time. For example, an adjustable echo effect is applied (display at the right with a real Hammond reverbeo spring) and also a visual readout of the balance between the two stereo channels through a small oscilloscope tube. This is one of the most expensive and impressive radios ever in the world!! This combination cost more the average car!!! If you would like to have an ONE time ultra rare radio, then this is your change . Bands: LW 150 - 400kHz, MW 510 - 1620kHz, SW1 1.6 - 4.7MHz, SW2 4.5 - 10.5MHz, SW3 10 - 20MHz, SW4 19.5 – 30MHz, FM 87.5 - 108MHz (stereo) Dimensions: 147 x 78 x 36 cm or 58¨ x 31¨x 14¨ Tubes: ECC83 (5x), ECF80 (2x), EF86 (2x), EL86 (4x) Power source: 110v, 220v Weight: ? Now about the condition; The very modern wooden cabinet is still in great condition, no damage, except some water stains on the top left. This Philips has also been checked and works great. All functions work and receives on all bands. The record player also works fine. FM works very well and it receives some stations in stereo (it needs a long antenna). Now for transport: This is a radio that can not be send by mail, it is too heavy and too big! You can pick up this radio in Belgium. Greetings
