Two circuit receiver
Made in the N.S.F. factories in Hilversum. The design of this radio is, like that of the later receiver 2514, by ir. Louis Kalff, who also designed the Philips disc loudspeakers. The style is "Nieuwe Zakelijkheid" or "New Realism", a modern design, that was not to everybody's taste. A small cabinet was made by the Brandsteder furniture workshop in Amsterdam, specially for this set. In this cabinet the 2501 (or the 2502) could be placed, as well as the battery eliminator. It is shown here.
The wave ranges are 200-400, 300-600 and 1000-2000 meters. The built-in 2503 power supply unit works on 220 Volts in this radio. The radio also requires the Philips battery eliminator 372.
