Dear gentlemen.
I want to know the model or type of this philips radio.
It was made in Argentina.

Bands covered, BC only

Date of production is probably mid 30's.

Dial shows an scale in meters (200 to 550)
There is also blocks with tuning reference to local stations.

Valve lineup (as received)is CK1, CF3, CBC1, CL2, CY1 and C8 regulator.

The photo shows the set. The grillecloth is not original.
I have more photos.

Best regards, Jose

Dear Jose

It looks like a 535U,   There is some information if you look in the radios section.

The valve line up is correct and also the case looks the same.

Roy

hello jose, ur set is indeed a mid 30s set , its the south american varient, its been featured on this forum quite recently , i remember well because of the two red spots inside the dial , if u search back through the arcives on this forum ull find it , or open the model [radio] tab and enter it into the form and u should get all the info necessary , im restoring a phillips 525a , which has an identical cabinet , but the dial and soround are slightl y different,   as is the valve line  up ,

best of luck with ur project  , regards maitiu.

thanks Roy, I went to the model 535U, and yes, it looks very similar. Perhaps it is an argentine version of the dutch type.

It lacks the LW band. This band was never used into argentina.

Hello Maitiu. Thanks for the advice. Actually I´ve put a thread for this set several months ago.

Unfortunatelly the tag with the type Nr. is worn and unreadeable.
