Wat mij betreft is dit een zeer mooi toestel uit bakeliet van de Philips fabrieken, dit toestel kreeg de bijnaam van "het zonnetje" en soms ook "bibberschaal" deze komt omdat de afstem naald trilt wanneer je naar een zender zoekt. Reden daarvoor is dat ze rechtstreeks op de CV pin aangeloten zit en de CV is zo gemonteerd dat hij schokdempend kan bewegen.
Zoals veel andere Philips toestellen straalt uit deze radio een bepaalde sfeer uit waar geen enkele radio liefhebber kan aan weerstaan...
Mvg,
