Hello All,
just found this one by accident (honest), while googling http://users.skynet.be/albert.aerts/radio/index.html

Nice collection of sets; Don't know if it's been mentioned on here before?
Enjoy

Looking at the Philips and other sets made in the Second World War period, the thing that strikes me is their tuning scales.

Who were they made for? At the time they were made it would be a very dangerous thing to be caught in occupied Europe tuning to many of the stations these sets could receive.

PMM.

They where made for the south of the Netherlands when the Germans
where pushed back there and where driven to the north above the "the rivers" in Holland.
Thanks to the English and the American soldiers!
