First Philips sets here were the C9 chassis, closely followed by the K9's.
Still a few of them around. They had a habit of the tubes fracturing at the
point where the neck is bonded on as they got on in years (like 20+)

Some of the
Decca valve/transistor Colour hybrids made it here as well.
Hey, I remember those too. I also remember (just) the Philips G6 colour
set with a mostly valved colour decoder. That was _complicated_... Still
have schematics for them as well.... If it came from the UK, I'll bet it was a PL509 or
equivalent. Colour
sets _always_ used that line output valve...
Can't remember for sure, sounds right though.
