Hi to all.

I am from Portugal and I like to collect and repair old radio and TV sets.

i just purchased this amazing Philips 17 inches set from a local advertisement for only 60€. I replaced the tar capacitors (across the line and boost capacitor) also replaced the capacitor from the Pl36 heater to ground wich normally fails. It had a broken wire on the CRT socket and a bad power switch.

After those repairs it is working with a very nice picture and all original components and valves.
