Do you recognise this?
Looks like an early signal generator. No manufacturer marked anywhere but has a stencilled "Made in Holland" on the bottom. Any details especially a circuit most welcome. Yes, that is a R1155 tuning dial! The valves are 4v and look from an earlier period.
Sorry for the quality of the photos, only had my phone handy. Many thanks, Peter Last edited by Reelman; 20th Oct 2015 at 1:24 pm. Reason: added a bit more info |

Re: Do you recognise this?
Looks distinctly of philips manufacturer, maybe a some piece of kit knocked up by themselves for a special purpose that's escaped the factory.

Re: Do you recognise this?
Yes, it certainly has a Philips "feel" about it. I presume that the R1155 dial is a later addition.
Cheers, Peter |

Couldn't see it on the BAMA site but this is from Frank Philipse's site.

Re: Do you recognise this?
Thanks again all those who replied!
Seems amazing that an obscure signal generator from 1935 has so much available on the 'net. Wouldn't mind the Philips service bench shown in the 2nd picture on here: http://michel.terrier.pagesperso-ora.../genehfold.htm Cheers guys, Peter. |
