We bought this nice little radio gramophone 12 - 15 years ago for only £10 at a second hand shop, to play our old 78 rev/min records (the heavy pickup of the old portable gramophone was eating our records!). It was made by Dux, a Swedish subsidiary of Philips, and the designation is V1440.

The chassis is Philips copper red type G4F. The radio covers LW 1160 - 2000 m (258 - 150 kHz), MW 187 - 545 m (1610 - 550 kHz) and SW 24 - 52 m (12,4 - 5,8 MHz) as well as VHF (FM) 87,5 - 100 MHz. It has 6 valves, ECC85, ECH81, EF89, EBC81, EL86 and a magic eye EM84.

The record player is of course a Philips, it has four speeds, 16, 33, 45 and 78 rev/min.

My Dux was probably made at NEFA in Norrköping. The corresponding Philips model appears in a broschure 1963/64 under the name Siw H4S33A.
