A Philips L6X38T is a special device used in a James Bond film. This is the first model made in 1965.

The radio is in poor condition and partly demolished. But because we have enough parts for a while, we can restore this device.

The biggest problem with these devices is leaking batteries. Likewise, everything has been affected with this device.

Because the amplifier board was still in the chassis, we tested it. And this one still seems to work.

A bit of music gives a better impression of the amplifier board. Apart from some creaking potentiometers, it works well.

The battery holder is completely destroyed. Rotten feathers. The problem is of course the sticker with type number and date. L6X83T .01 10-14-65

The wiring is cut in such a way that it is simply too short. As a result, entire pieces have to be replaced.

And then a first test. The measuring transmitter is connected to the input of the FM intermediate frequency.

The wires on the tuning capacitor were obviously cut too short. So you have to completely replace it in this difficult spot.

The transmitter is a local station EXTRAM on the AM. The measuring transmitter is used as an oscillator.

In order for the FM to work, the wiring on the FM tuner had to be repaired. Because you cannot reach it, the FM tuner had to be removed and then the tuning string loosened.

And then the first FM sounds from the radio. We managed to repair the wiring so that the FM can work.

The chassis is already starting to look quite something. But unfortunately some miscreant broke off the three buttons at the top left.

And now the next problem. The connection panel is broken. And where bisides nowhere will you find a connection panel. (old version)

Because a suspension tab on the old battery holder had broken off. I removed the original serial number.

Here the fitment of the battery holder together with the connection panel. The top right tab was broken off from the original battery holder to which the connection panel is screwed.

The replacement battery holder. Someone has already been working there with a soldering iron. But somewhat improved, it still works.

And yes, if the back becomes more beautiful than the front, then something needs to be done. The grill and dial makes the front something beautiful.
