This time I am selling one of the flat PLANO models of Philips.
The model is Philips B7X14A /01
The firstmodels of the B7X14A have 2lamps, en they do not have a lamp for the Philipslogo. If the B7X14Ahave no other lettering after the type number than it is a regular B7X14A/00 .
The latermodels B7X14A’s have an extra/01, so they call B7X14A/01. These have an extra lamp for the Philips logo8009D lamp.
The \"Plano\" models were ratherflat, wide models, usually having thespeakers on the sides.
They were a departure from the luxury models from the fifties, that weretall, impressive and bulky radios with front speakers. They are nice too..
Putting the speakers on the sides was a naturalthing to do for a radio with built-in speakers.
This model, the B7X14A/01, was a luxurymodel from around 1963.
