Small world...

My dad designed that radio, when he was at Phillips, and the pro to type was in our house for months, this was the only radio that we kids could do with it what we wanted, we where the quality check for it.
When it stopped working, my dad would, work out what went wrong, improve on it and give it back to us.
We had a ball,and South Africa, and the rest of Africa got a dam good radio.
Thanks for the memory's

Héé Herman, d'r staat maar één "l" in Philips, joh...


My dad had a very similar looking Blaupunkt which lived in the passenger footwell of his 67 Beetle in 68. My mom had to tune it constantly, as it hissed and pluttered it's way through the Drakensberg, the Blaupunkt, not the Beetle.
