Big, stylish and Dutch. Initial look at this Philips Reverbeo B7X14A Stereo restoration - part 1

This project is the second on this style of Philips tube radio, but this time it's the big brother. Philips tend to follow a slightly different design and build philosophy to the German radios I usually work on. However, the quality of the design, incorporating stereo for the external source input, promises to deliver amazing sound quality. It also has a reverb tank incorporated in it, hence the 'Reverbeo' in the name, so the effect should be interesting. The condition of this radio is a little daunting, with a 'protective' coat of tar resulting from years around a smoker, but nothing that some TLC won't fix. Hope you enjoy it.
