Tengo uno BX 295U. Pienso que es uno primo de el BX 290U . Como se puede ver es muy similar. Las válvulas son eguales: UCH42 UAF42 UBC41 UL41 UY41 Siguiendo el esquema no hay diferencias.
Pienso que esto no es uno hermano o primo. La diferencia es el numero 5. BX 205U.
Yo pienso que es uno aparato para exportacion. Es usted de acuerdo?
Saludos

Dear Radio Friends
I have one Philips BX 295U. I think it is a BX 290U cousin.
Has you can see below, it is similar.
Tubes are equal: UCH42 UAF42 UBC41 UL41 UY41
If you follow the schematic diagram you can't see differences.
I think this is the 290 model, not a brother or a cousin. The only difference is the last number five. BX 295 U.
I herd this number five means "To export".
Do you agree?
Best Regards
Mário
