Philips Bi-Ampli B5X23A Tube Radio A First Look

[@roncarter2188]

Now today if you give a company 43 years of service or even half that they want to get rid of you, that's your reward to get rid of you because now you become a liability and they want you gone. Man how times have changed. Nice video because it fascinates me as well for radio repair and that radio is beautiful!

Hello Ron, that sounds about right these days. Yes, it's a lovely old thing. Take care Ron.

Beautiful radio. Hope you can find time to get it up to perfection. This gentlemans channel, Electronics Old and New by M Caldeira, tackles many european made radios. He's very thorough and you may even find this radio or a similar model on his site.

Hello Bob. I will indeed try to get it to perfection. That is a very interesting channel. He's a brilliant tech. I will see if this radio is on there. Thanks for the info and watching the video. Take care.

Check out Mr Carson's Lab. He does a lot of radio restoration and a very knowledgeable cat.

Better yet, check out the Electronics Old and New channel hosted by a guy in Portugal who refurbishes a lot of vintage European radios. He posted a video recently about restringing a vintage Blaupunkt table radio.

The power amp is an output transformerless design (OTL), driving 800 ohm speakers.
