Yes it was and it worked but I no longer have any information on these. When I was working at Philips, I used to repair a lot of these....they were treated as something of a specialist item. We only had a few requests to modify for continuous auto reverse and I did at least one but it was over 40 years ago......
I really can't remember if it involved fitting an extra sensor or an additional board as well. I do remember it coming as a kit. I honestly don't know if the technical bods that worked in the audio development dept at Philips are still around or even if they would still remember anything about it. Chances are the parts to modify it would be unobtainable now anyway. It was one of those 'parts available on request only' so chances are it was very limited.
I do know someone (ex Philips) who has or had one of these and I'm fairly certain that it had been modified so I can try and get hold of him. No promises though.....
