Though the Philetta models are still no hassle to fix, there are much worse sets around. The mains transformers tended to go open circuit in many cases as I remember.

The Philetta models are really nice radios, but for some reason Philips GB never made their own version or imported the German ones, so they were very rare sets in the UK. Some were bought by British military personnel stationed in Germany in the 1950s and 60s. They were allowed to buy them without paying German or British taxes. |
Ive got Philips Philetta sat in my workshop on a shelf waiting for me to be brave enough to attempt looking at it .
As you say its pretty rammed inside which puts me off a bit, ive never even switched it on although its been there for quite a while now.
