  • Notes
  • This television is for N.T.S.C norm. Very first Philips color TV prototype. Around 200 pcs. was made for test purpose. The chassis is also well known as the K4 type.
    Many of the television sets were modified with an additional PAL-decoder, specially for research and development (Philips laboratories, Eindhoven).
    Philips completely redesigned the horizontal transformer, because the first model often broke down.
    There is a complete circuit description of the K4 (NTSC-version, about 136 book-pages!) in the following literature (german language):
    Ing. W. Hartwich: Einführung in die Farbfernseh-Servicetechnik, Band 2: Schaltungstechnik und Service-Einstellungen. Philips Technische Bibliothek (N.V. Philips´ Gloeilampenfabrieken, Eindhoven, Niederlande) 1966
