Philips vs Mullard Vintage Radios??
GlennSprigg:
--- Quote from: tooki on June 11, 2020, 05:19:25 pm ---For many years, Philips couldn’t use its name in USA because of the similarity to Philco. So in USA, Philips products were sold under various other names: Magnavox, Norelco, and probably a few more.
In the case of Mullard, originally a British company, Philips partnered with them in 1923 and then completely bought them in 1927, but continued to use the name until 1988. It wouldn’t surprise me if the same radio was sold in USA under a third name.

Re: Other names, as per the bold word in your quote, above...
'Magnavox' (was?) an Aussie name? I've also recently acquired an old Speaker, on the label, it says...
" Magnavox, Model 'MAGNAFLUX 525S2' ". Strangely, (or not! :( ), I can NOT find any Ref to it, or anything
like it, on the whole Net?? Maybe it is as rare as the 'seller' said! hahaha....
