Default Re: Philips Hi-Z record player

Squinting at the magnified serial plate reveals AG2126x - Data for an AG2126 exists in Pauls Service data ( top right) adn seems to match
As Rich correctly states a typically Philips unusual idea of cascode transformerless output stage using EL and UL 84 and twin 800 ohm speakers, hence the 'Hi-Z' moniker.
Very repairable I would have thought, unless of course the main speaker is U/S. ( but then in theory you'd still hear some treble ? )
Perhaps this is what Roxarama alludes to in his opening post ?

Is there any response touching the pickup head contacts ?

PS appears to date from 1957/8
