Hi Bob,
I must admit that I've not seen one of these receivers like this before. The comments on the mains TX being a bit small could be down to the fact that the PSU is only a HW rectifier (judging by the single metal rectifier).
This would allow for a TX with only a 6.3v winding and I imagine about a 250 - 300v winding, so could be quite small.
I think I can see screw holes in the front control knobs, if this was a live chassis version I would expect these to be totally enclosed with no metal showing (push on type) to avoid possible electrocution !!).
It would be nice to get this radio going in it's present state and see how it fares with a standard model (if there is such a thing).
The U8 number would make this a Phillips version (which could also explain the weird setup !!).
Cheers,
Alan.
