This Philips tube radio looks really messed up at first glance. However, it also presents a few contradictions, like the bakelite chassis and back cover that is in really good shape. Time to even out the condition with a full restoration.
It is an AM only set, with Long wave, Medium wave and two Shortwave channels. This was very typical in Madeira, where FM took a little longer that usual to arrive. The economics of the era also contributed to many FM-less sets on the island. The apparent shortcomings in no way detract from the emotional attachment that some people have to their old radios, so this one deserves as much resect and attention as any other set, no matter how advanced.
Hope you enjoy the video.
