The picture below left shows the chassis of a Philips
535A, "decorated by an artist". I acquired this chassis plus cabinet in
exchange for a bottle of Dutch old geneva.
The blue coating really covered the whole
top surface of the chassis and even penetrated through holes, like the
sockets of the tubes. In the meantime a lot of efforts have been made to
refurbish the radio and the chassis is already close to its original
condition again. The picture below right is indicating the current
status of the chassis (tubes were put in provisionally for the photo
only and not all parts are on its place yet).
Unfortunately the sign at the back of
the chassis (indicating the model 535A), the loudspeaker plus grille and back-panel
as well as a electrolytic capacitor are missing. In The
Netherlands this capacitor is called a "paddestoel-elco", in view of
the shape of this component.
The radio is not in my collection anymore.
