Estimados Amigos de la Radio.

Tengo uno BX 295U. Pienso que es uno primo de el BX 290U .  Como se puede ver es muy similar.  Las válvulas son eguales: UCH42 UAF42 UBC41 UL41 UY41   Siguiendo el esquema no hay diferencias.

Pienso que esto no es uno hermano o primo. La diferencia es el numero 5.  BX 205U. 

Yo pienso que es uno aparato para exportacion. Es usted de acuerdo?

Saludos
Mário

Dear Radio Friends

I have one Philips BX 295U. I think it is a BX 290U cousin.
Has you can see below, it is similar.
Tubes are equal: UCH42 UAF42 UBC41 UL41 UY41
If you follow the schematic diagram you can't see differences.

I think this is the 290 model, not a brother or a cousin. The only difference is the last number five.  BX 295 U. 

I herd this number five means "To export".
Do you agree?

Best Regards
Mário
