The KY5265 was the first post-war
radiogramophone Erres introduced. The Philips gramophone
is spring-mounted and has a Philips AG2002/75 AG3016
element with two needles (M and N). This should be a
AG3010 element. In the first series (this is depicted in
the technical documentation) an AG3005 is shown as the correct
element. The playback speeds are 78, 45 and 33 rpm. The
radio could be made suitable for FM reception, by
incorporating FM element 521. The FM is already
indicated on the scale. At the rear an additional
speaker can be connected.
Ranges: medium wave (175-585 meters),
long wave (720-2000 meters) and short wave (13.5 to 51.2
meters), plus two spread shortwave bands (24.2 to 26 and
28 to 32.1 meters).
Six different voltages, from
110-250 volts.
The original price was was f 428,-. With an additional
FM-unit the price was f 495,-, a rather expensive
model for that period.
