I just pulled out identical from a recycler. Cable is chopped off and it comes with 4 wires. I looked inside and everything seams equally covered with a thick layer of dust. The extra 2 wires go to the middle knob, not sure what they do there yet. I found a service pdf but not all things are exactly in agreement.
Ensure that you replace all black tar covered capacitors. They always fail. Do this before powering up, or you may have one burn out (literally) or destroy a tube or the big green resistor. The big green power resistor also often fails, but you don't have to replace it unless it has gone open circuit. The power supply electrolytics usually are fairly alright.
Sweet radio!

Nope! They were made in multiple different colors. You can find old Philips catalogs on www.mfbfreaks.com.
@@mfbfreak thanks for pointing that out. I never knew that.
