This is one of the bigest tube radios made by Philips in 1955. The radio has motor tuning and was a real luxuary item ath this time. The radio was on sale in 1955 for 900 Gulden (name of the money curency in the Netherlands ath this time, now in euro it will be around 1500 this will be 2.000 USD!!!). This is a very heavy boy 30 Kg! Sizes are: L 71cm, H 44cm, D 31cm. This radio has 16 tubes! EBF80, ECH81, EF80, EC92, EF89, EBF80, EF85, EAA91, ECC83, EBC41, PL81, PL81, EL84, EZ80, EZ80, EM34.
Very huge radio from Grundig, this is a very rare model who is equiped with the "automatic" function. The automatic version runs to stations by using a motorized tuner. This radio is a heavy boy and weigts aprox 28Kg. The speakers in this radio are very impessive and huge, also in this set they use 2 frontal tweeters. No nessesery to mention these radios wher very expensive in the production time, but still today you will pay a lot of money to have one in this condition...

Op deze radio kon ik geen merknaam terug vinden, het is een erg bijzondere radio en dus gaf ik hem zelf de naam van een bijzondere lieve blog vriendin, Ambrosia.
Het is een radio verstopt in een poreclaine beeldje waar een cristal ontvangertje kon op aangesloten worden, zo kon men verborgen naar berichten luisteren uit bv. Engeland. Groetjes, Retro0_7
