H203u 1941 Philips radio.
Production of the 203U was comparable in the German factory of Aachen,
near the Belgium border and in the Prague plant in the occupied
Czechoslowakia.
As transportation costs were high and labour was cheap, the Czech factory
had all the components home-made, just as the Dutch.
All versions
have medium (BC) and long wave bands and no "Enemies" station
names on the dial: it was strictly forbidden to listen to Anglo-American
broadcasts!
The official wartime life of this radio ended in late 1944,
when the last batch of 4500 units traveling by train from Aachen to
Berlin actually were destroyed by a bombing of the allied forces.
By then, the 204U and 208U models with short waves and only a few changes,
were already into production.
These were popular radios in Western Europe
in the hard times just after the war, with a no more 'Censored"
dial. |

Philips radio H204u, manufactured by
N.S.F.
About the same frame as the NSF version.
Heavily damaged.
In
Prague: by
the end of the war this country was under the Soviet influence.
Philips, as well as its all-time competitor, Telefunken, went on making sets in a heavily uncertain environment till
1946/47, when all the factories became state-owned under the brand
Tesla.
The 208U, developed out of first "Philetta" 203U, under new
shells, with different names and variations in design, became the best-sold
radio for Tesla in the Eastern bloc countries.
Without concurrency
it was produced till 1958 to be redesigned with transistors. |

in Tsjecho-Slowakije gemaakt.
In 1947 ging deze Praagse fabriek over in
staatshanden en bleef men tot 1958 deze toestellen produceren -zonder
enige concurrentie- onder de naam Tesla.

1946 This
radio is produced by NSF in The Netherlands in 1945-1946 under a Philips
license and is electrically equivalent to the Philips
model 208U.
However, the cabinet is different (material is wood, whereas
the original 208U is constructed from bakelite). Interesting feature of this radio is that the dial shows a rather special
radio station "Herrijzend Nederland", a Dutch station that
was founded by the end of World War 2. Many
thanks to Gidi
Verheijen for this beautiful picture. |

Let op het toen actuele radiostation

Het behoeft geen betoog uit welke tijd deze radio stamt.
