The radio the has
appearance and technical design
of the tropical radios Philips
153A and 154A "Lido"
made in 1937
and 1938, but the radio is
unknown in this version so far.
It could be a
residual part of a series of
radios originally made for the
Dutch East-Indies (presumably a
Philips 154A), that because
of the
outbreak of
WWII has not reached the
East-Indies and was subsequently
adapted for use in the
Netherlands with a medium
wave/shortwave coil can and a
new station scale.
(A type plate has
not been placed on the device).
