Hi,

I have a 1953 Philips Model 138 Minstral 4 (Ivory) Radio and had it transported from Victoria to Queensland and during this move the tuning and volume knob got broken and was wondering if I can purchase new/secondhand ones.

Thank you and it is great being a member of your group.
Rob Keyes

It would be very useful to see photographs of the survivor's. I have some from a deceased estate & the Dutchman collected, restored & occasionally collected parts & components for them, on visits back to Holland.

That also reminds me of package requirements. The International standard test for packaging, was to mark it "fragile" & send it British Rail.
If it survived that, it would likely survive a Nuclear Holocaust. Like some Japanese "Gates of Heaven" that have.
