Quote:The two British Philips models V5A and V7A with the same cabinet have no chassis. The components are fixed to the inner Bakelite structure. This is quite a challenge for a repair. This Philips unit should be the cheap Philips answer to the Philco Peoples Set at those times.From Radiomuseum notes.
There are similar cabinets as V4A and V6A in the Netherlands. Theatrette is a (later) nickname of the collectors. The Philips V7A features a tone control switch on the left-hand side and both have at the right-hand side the wave-range switch.
Mad!
