Philips 371A help wanted

[Aerodyne]

This is a long shot, but I'm going to ask anyway. Do you have a Philips 371A in your collection? If so, could you possibly take a photo or two of the interior, showing the two end brackets that mount the chassis within the cabinet, to enable me to make replacements for missing brackets. I also need a picture of the back panel to make a replica.
Also looking for a set of control knobs for this set.
And the front Philips logo!

OK, its a wreck. Thoroughly got at... it may be that in the end I'll scrap it, but as the Bakelite case is in reasonable condition it seems a shame.
Any help appreciated.

Thanks for that, Rob. The photos of the back panel will certainly be useful. The chassis brackets are not too clear due to the low definition, but in the absence of anything better I should be able to work from them. Still on the lookout, though, for Philips badge, knobs or at least one front knob to copy and at least one side knob to copy. Any offers? Pleased to pay a reasonable price and cover costs.

Ben Djickman in Holland may be able to help with the badge.

Yes, I know of Ben's spares, Mark, but I was after an original. I feel sure that I can make the badge myself if it comes to it - but it too would be a replica. Same with the knobs. Given one original, I can copy in exactly the same way as Ben's knob maker does (if you'll pardon the expression). To me, this kind of work is all part of the pleasure of restoration - solving problems along the way.
Still therefore looking for originals!

Regards

Hallo

I own this set; the badge is missing too.

The place, where it is supposed to be, is totally clean, no remains of any glue. The other sets I have seen pictures of, they had their emblems replaced.

Does anyone know of fotos made at the time, that this set was for sale?

still looking for those brackets?

I have tried to take some pictures, that will be able to show you clearly enough, how the construction is made. I have no idea, how to post them here. But I sent them to the radiomuseum, you might be able to get them from there.

To post photos you need to click 'Preview Post,' scroll down to 'New Attachment,' Browse for your picture then click 'Add Attachment.' Now put the cursor where you want the picture to be in your post and finally click 'Insert into post' before 'Post Reply.'

Other systems may be simpler but don't allow you to put them where you want.

These enamel Philips badges do pop up on e-bay from time to time, mostly as lapel badges, but presumably the right size, and the lapel pin could I guess be removed:

Hope that helps a bit.
