Hello all,
I note from an old post (dated 14 November 2009!) that "Satelliteman" has one of these.
I would be extremely grateful for a copy if possible.
I am currently restoring a very nice one of these beasts, but there has been much butchering before me and as it has the old side contact valves and 4 volt heaters, I really need a road map to get me home please.
My gratitude will be immense...
Regards to all.
Noel

Hi.

Is your Philips a local Kiwi set or European?

I know some of the NZ Philips from the late 1930's used the same or similar chassis to Australian ones, albeit with different model numbers. Having side contact or P-base valves would put its vintage in the late 1930's.

Can you send us a few snaps of your radio + the valve line-up. Also, can you provide the link to the November 2009 post.

Cheers.

Update.
Here is the link to Satellitemans 2009 post:

I'm not sure if this helps, but if you search on "Philips 636" in the Radiomuseum database, there are numerous hits for model 636 in1933/34, all with photos and schematics.

Anybody can look at the photos, but to need to be a Radiomuseum member to be able to download schematics.

There are one or two members on here.

Hi,
I have only just got back into circulation after a lengthy spell away, for reasons I won't go in to!
I feel so ungrateful for not acknowledging the responses to my post and I sincerely apologise for this.
That particular project is long gone and now that I'm back in the workshop I am working on an Aussie Airzone with a 511 chassis.
I hope to post some "befores" and "afters", after...
Cheerio for now

Welcome back.
