Re: Philips N3X84V/15
I don't know about the /15 suffix, but it's a car radio made around 1958/1959:-

Re: Philips N3X84V/15
Valve based car radios are probably of more interest to classic car enthusiasts than to members of this forum, so you may not get a value here. The best thing to do is check similar items on eBay (search completed items) to get an idea of price.
I'm afraid you won't make a fortune though. These radios sometimes had a separate power supply. If this model did and it's missing the radio is probably worthless.

Re: Philips N3X84V/15
It could be. Sometimes the power supply is mounted remotely from the rest of the radio and the pair are connected by a multiway cable.
Assuming you radio has a 12V power lead/s, an antenna connection and a speaker connection it's probably complete.

Re: Philips N3X84V/15
Hi John, before connecting it to a supply make sure if it is positive or negative earth. Early sets were not interchangable and usually positive earth.
