I would never guess that was a Philips. It reminds me of a Sony FH series box. That is VERY nice Boerny. :sin:

 

[SUCCESS]

I definitely love this design. Even nicer than FH's ....

 

[ViennaSound]

I love those splitted equalizer for left and right.
Also the servo-tapes.
Great box, congrats!

Too sad it owns no twin aerial...

 

[Prime]

Thats a really nice looking box! I didn't think Phillips had the ability to produce something that pretty.

Whats the power consumption on the back label?

 

[Johnny]

Never ever ever saw one of those!!! Does is sound as good as it looks? Amazing, not a huge fan of phillips sound, but they had good designs of that era of boomboxes!

Suh-Weeet!!! Me want one!!!

Exactly what I thought when I saw it.
That's an overachiever for Philips, I think they made a mistake with this one.

Sorry for the late reply .

66 Watts .

200?? Forget D batteries it would need a small car battery.

 

[Börny]

The D8778 need´s 10 D cell batterie´s and a strong arm 2 shoulder it .

you know there was a quite a few things that phillips put out that were very good.
i would think this must be one of them.

That's true but it happened so sporadically that it seems they fired who ever approved these high quality units.

Not usually that keen on this style of box, but this one looks really cool, and imposing!

Nice to see the equalizer goes down to 60hz instead of 100hz like many boxes.
Gives a much nicer deeper bass boost.

Cool

Very,Very nice Phillips!!
Ay 66 watts draw there's only the C M-90 and the PC-55's at 87 & 93 respectfully that draw so much-wow!!
I'd like to hear one of these.
Great one-GB.
