Philips G85U

[Mark R]

Finally have a radio on the bench in bits. From 1958 pictures in due course.

Dial string is broken and not easy to replace just fiddly methinks.

Oh the curse of the Philips tuning cord

That's the only problem with phillips the dial cords and non standard capacitors drive me mad.

I learnt a long time ago with Philips sets (and some others) that even if the dial cord is good always make notes about it when you take the chassis out of the cabinet. If there is a diagram see if you can understand it to the chassis and annotate with comments. If there isn't a diagram then make your own.

Its nearly the first thing I do.

I had one that snapped whilst working on it; perhaps I caught it and after all the years it was weak.
