Updated version of Malibu PS6. Uses an improved audio module type UA411.
Comes with a carrying case with shoulder strap.
There are two different RF/IF modules (UF302 and UF312) and two different AF modules (UA403 and UA411) referenced in the Service Notes as well as a change in the speaker.
The UA411 circuit in the Service Notes dated July 1967 is shown as using a BC108 and the listing on RMorg for the UA411 shows a BC148.
Caution is advised as the modules could be changed in a prior service intervention.
The speaker in radio S/N PS6.4608 with a is an Hi-Flux 2.75JB/15, probable 15 ohm impedence as against 33 ohm for the MSP unit.This radio has the earlier AF module (UA403).
The weight is without batteries or carry case.

The Philips Service Notes Supplementary Sheets (uploaded to the Schematic data base) indicates that the PS6 Service Notes for the PS6 were issued in October 1965 and for the PS6/01 in October 1966. One of the Supplementary Sheets uploaded covers a new Audio Module with a mix of Germanium and Silicon transistors. That sheet was issued in July 1967.
The sequence thus appears:
October 1965 PS6
October 1966 PS6/01 with Audio Module UA403
July 1967 PS6/01 with a BC108 in the Audio Module UA411 (TR101 = BC108)
There is also a change referred to in the speaker, to an MSP 2.75JB/33 This is referenced in the July 1967 Service Sheet as "Independent of the Module Change......"
Later, but undated, the RF/IF module changes from an UF302 to UF312
