Hi

Hello Darren,
I couldn't find any info on your model number but there are very knowledgeable people on this site, so if you could post a picture maybe someone could help identify it. Does it look like any of these?

Best regards, Paul

Hi Paul

I have attached 2 photo's, quality of the sound is amazing, give Bose a run for its money

Thanks Darren

Just a guess on my behalf but I'd say early 1970's. It's a bit too new for most of us here on the forum as we are more anquated with much older sets. Sorry I can't be more of a help to you.

Hi Darren

I just bought a DVD of UK vintage radio service data here:
http://www.service-data.com/

But this won't help you, as your model is not listed in the contents. So your set is probably too "new" to be listed in this DVD.

I would guess your set dates back to somewhere between the mid-1960s and early 1970s.

Ordinarily, as a matter of policy, we do not send folks elsewhere when they come here seeking help. But sometimes we have no choice in the matter. There is very, very little information on UK-made Philco sets available here in the USA. I feel you would have better luck at the UK Vintage Radio & Restoration forums:

http://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/index.php

Like the Phorum, it costs nothing to join there. And since it is based in the UK perhaps you may have a better chance of learning something about your set there.

Good luck - and please let us know how it goes.
