In this hobby I always look for something different in the projects that I undertake, and this one is truly special. The B4X52AT from 1965 was one of the first transistor radios made by Philips, and is in the best condition of any radio that I have ever worked on. It was a gift from René from the Netherlands, and I truly hope I've done it justice.
Enjoy the video.
