John, you should see the Philips 385U that I’ve got on the bench, that was a rust bucket, and sure enough, it’s been a pig to get going! And the cabinet is knackered too.

I’d certainly not recommend some Philips sets! Especially the 385U, unusual circuitry, and unpleasant rats nest wiring, and odd looking tag strips arranged vertically! Not a nice set to work on..

Regards
Lloyd
