All auctions / Music & Musical Instruments / Philips - BX380A Tube radio
Rare Vintage Philips Tube Radio – Type BX380A – Bakelite Case (1948) L ' stands for the factory in Leuven, Belgium, on Philips devices from that era. Description: Beautiful and authentic Philips BX380A table-top tube radio from 1948. This iconic post-war model is executed in a streamlined, dark brown bakelite housing with the well-known Philips emblem on the front. A striking and characteristic feature of this type is the prominent, crystal-clear station scale with gold-colored details and the unique conspicuous tuning knob. The scale lists historical European cities and stations (such as Hilversum, London, Brussels, Berlin and Warszawa). The device features an original fabric mains lead with an authentic plug. Specifications: Manufacturer: Philips Model: BX380A Year of construction: ca. 1948 Housing material: Bakelite Broadcast bands: Long Wave (LW), Medium Wave (MW), Short Wave (SW) Tube lineup: ECH21, ECH21, EBL21, AZ1 Dimensions: 40 cm (width) x 17 cm (depth) x 25 cm (height) Weight: 6,080 grams (6.08 kg) Condition: Visual: In very nice vintage condition with normal, light age-related signs of use. The bakelite case is intact, without cracks or missing parts. The station scale is well legible and the knobs are present. Technical: The radio powers on and emits a crackling sound from the speaker, but currently receives no stations signal (an external wire antenna may be required or the AM bands may need fine-tuning/maintenance). Sold as a working/crackling condition as a beautiful decorative object, for restoration or collection, or for conversion into, for example, a Bluetooth radio. Shipping / Transport: The item will be packed very carefully with bubble wrap, foam, and cardboard and shipped registered and insured with a track & trace code.
