Vintage Philips tube radio ND372V Paladin 372

This is the Philips Paladin 372 vintage car radio. It is an improved version derived from the Philips NX344-V of which I also have a restoration video on this channel. The Paladin was designed in a split concept, to allow for more degrees of freedom during installation in a vehicle. This radio I have equipped with the latest PeKo solid-state vibrator model RVB-2A, which has a lossless reverse-polarity protection also shown in the video. For the earlier video of the NX344V see • Vintage Philips VW bug...
For the PeKo vibrators see www.pekorf.com/Radio.html

Yeah, I love this model. Bought my first one with my grandfather when I was 12, he loved rummaging in junk stores. It was a birthday present. As young as I was, I managed to repair that radio then (a drifted resistor). My grandfather is long gone, but I inherited that passion from him. Cheers.

Radio sounds like it's working very well, what cars did these go into?

[@LifeIsTooShortForQRP]

VW bug, Renault 4, basically the lower end of the market. Because this was a budget radio, without preset buttons.
