To be honest, I've always been a fan of Philips. I spent years collecting and restoring Philips 1700/1702 machines in the early 80s and again including V2000 machines in the early noughties (all gone now). I also had the first CD, the CD100, then the 473 (?) that had the favourite tracks feature. Mind you, that feature packed in after a few months, must dig the machine out and fix it. I also love vintage Philips sets, owning a 634a and others. I had a 9" model 353 (?) TV from the 50s when I collected TVs and I've owned other Philips consumer stuff like electric mixers, radio alarms etc etc. I like Philips stuff.
