Just Bought a Philips Radio,Turntable and Amp.
Another Public Address unit that's a smaller version of the one I am after.
It does work but needs some TLC. A little unusual as it uses 6CA7s instead
of the usual 6CM5 so am guessing around 30 watts.
Bonus is I have history with this unit, First it was installed by someone I know and my Father did some installations with.
AND the last time I saw it was probably 10+ years ago at H.C.Robinsons (Robbies)
in Queenstown, that name will be well known to most vintage electronics enthusiast here in SA.
He was in his early 90's when the shop closed and is now vacant land.
I grew up going to that shop!

Ahhhhh...

I thought it funny that there'd be two of the same model going in the space of a week or so, especially a model that would be fairly uncommon these days.
