Hello, I have an old Philips valve radio which used to work. I believe that it was made in or around 1954 and possibly came from France!
I was just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction as to getting books or a DVD on how to fix and restore it??
Any help would be greatly appriciated, many thanks Fyfyta!!

Hi FyFyTa

Is this the one?

Looks like a fairly standard late 1950s or early 1960s domestic receiver to me. You could try joining this forum for help: http://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/index.php

Hi Taildragon. Apologies for not uploading a picture of the radio. Tomorrow after work (Monday) I will try and put one up! Thanks for your reply!!:D
