  • Notes

  • Hybrid Valve / Transistor Portable Multiband Radio

    In the crossover between valves and transistors some manufacturers found ways to combine both. Philips produced this model and marketed it under the Philips and Fleetwood brand names (the Transworld Portable and Rambler respectively), which uses valves in the RF stages and uses solid state components in the audio stages.

    2 versions released - the MK1 was produced in 1957, and the MK2 the following year in 1958.

    4-bands:

    •   517 - 1610 kc/s - BC
    •   1.6 - 4 mc/s - SW3

    •   12.1 - 22.1 mc/s - SW1
