Magnavox D2999

Too bad these toys are forgotten today. I remember when I attached a wire from my little device to an antenna over the roof of the house, and I started receiving unknown radio stations with various languages from all over the world; although I wasn’t able to understand what they were saying, I was happy that I had all those channels in my little device. The presence of satellites has ruined it.

I wanted this radio when it came out.... Philips are good radios. I have Philips Cassette/CD radio combo from the 1970s and 1980s with FM and AM (MW) 510 to 1700khz ... still sounds fantastic 😊

Hi there its raymond great radio it works really well l remember it was reviewed in the the world radio and tv handbook and it got a good review maybe four stars out of five in the late 1980s or 1990 not sure a really great sounding radio and the shortwave is good to but not in the class of the R8 communications receiver anyways have a great christmas and new year raymond

Interesting video. By the way, this radio was manufactured by the Philips company in 1986 and therefore it was also sold under the name Philips D2999. Best regards from Germany

@@RadioMcRadioface like I mentioned in this video, I have two portable Grundig’s coming from Switzerland, which have already been in route for six weeks. And if you watched any of the previous videos, you probably know that I bought a collection of 11 or 12 radios, old boat anchor radios, huge heavy, but they were 1100 miles away. So I am in the process of getting those to my house. It still might be several more weeks before they get here. But those radios will keep me very busy for a little while anyway.
