Default Re: 1948/1949 Philips type 520A television and radio

Maarten,

There is a big chance that the serial number has no letter in front.
Perhaps grahamperrin is willing to post a picture of the type plate of his 520A?
The 383A/15 in my collection is of about the same era and just has a 4-digit number.
The service manuals issued by Philips for this generation of sets state Croydon as the service department, which does not inform us of the development or manufacturing location.

Later sets, like the 385U/15, have M in front of a 4-digit number.

All these sets have some Eindhoven components, but certainly a majority of part references start with MK or MS.
