| Philips vs Mullard Vintage Radios?? |

My LATEST acquisition (just received in the post!) is an Aussie Philips Model 124... This is a (large & heavy!) BroadBand, plus S.W. receiver, plus Magnified S.W. bands..... However, this doesn't just 'LOOK' like the "Mullard Eleven-Eleven", as shown here..... But internally, it is EXACTLY the same! With the exact same Schematic, and data. Obviously, there was a lot of agreements between so-called 'Companies', much like today! :P |

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. |

+1 to tooki. Mullard was the brand name for Philips in the UK for a long time. |

GlennSprigg: Very nice catch! I am jealous. Hopefully, even if you do not make a full teardown, at least you can take some nice photos of the unit's inside. |

I'm very jealous of your acquisitions but more even so that the mail in your region actually delivers them intact. |
