This was my concern that I mentioned in #196 of the original post, that it was no longer a radio restoration (and Philips sets are favourites of mine). It is a shame that idigo girl didn't ask for advice first if it was necessary to remove all the parts to sell them separately on eBay rather than to keep the whole radio as it didn't matter that the radio section wasn't going to used it was only necessary to leave it intact as it wouldn't have stopped the gram input from working.
As it is the parts could be put back in the radio even if not wired up so at least someone might be able to return it back to a radio.
