Philips 206A - 1940 Sympathetic Restoration Part 1



Published
Part 1 This Philips radio was built in Holland in the early 40s while under German control. The owner would like it restored while maintaining the patina and physical affects of history. It's in very poor condition and needs a lot of work, the Philips side contact valves are of particular concern and I attempt to correct them.

My digital Signal Generator:
The Signal Generator is a project kit from a local electronics magazine called Silicon Chip, there is a sister publication in the UK called Practical Electronics, it was featured in the April 2018 edition but mine has a oscilloscope function as well which I don't use. There may be a later edition in PE with that feature.
