Description

This now highly rare combination of a gramophone and radio—the Philips 870A model—is packed with advanced technology while also serving as a stunning visual masterpiece in Art Deco style, which was widely popular between the world wars.
The latest vacuum tubes in the radio ensure uncompromisingly clear reception, and the pinnacle of perfection is the Pillard electric gramophone itself. Equipped with an electric drive, it marked a revolutionary leap from mechanical models, offering steadier rotation speeds and overall improved sound reproduction.
At the time, this was one of the finest and most luxurious devices an enthusiastic audiophile could hope to own.
