A Kiwi Philips 516P - 1935ish
#11

A quick final note on this set - a few days after I finished hand-drawing the schematic out (4 days of back-and-forth checking and drawing and redrawing) the librarian from the NZ Vintage Radio Society emailed me and said, "Look, we just took possession of a collection from an old retired radio serviceman and he had a great collection of Philips stuff - is this the radio you were looking for?"

   

So that was nice Icon_smile

And I then had a vehicle blow up - so against my better judgement I listed it for sale... so now its gone.  But its in a vintage radio museum which is good... and I do have the other one, and a good working knowledge of the internals now... so I might do it all again and keep the next one...

   

There are no personal problems that can't be overcome with the liberal application of high explosives
