Made in the United States by the trusted brand Westinghouse, this radio is a nostalgic piece that combines classic design with functional technology. The case is in remarkably crack free condition, and looks really very nice. The radio has antenna connections on the back, and benefits from a short antenna especially for FM. I have used an old set of TV type “rabbit ears” and the set works very well on FM.

Offered is a Philips / Norelco model B5X88A, a high-quality European tube radio manufactured in Holland in the late 1950s. This model is part of Philips’ respected B-series and is well regarded among collectors for its sound quality, engineering, and distinctive mid-century European design. This is not a decorative or untested example – the radio works properly and sounds excellent, making it suitable for both listening and display. Smooth tuning and stable performance. Warm, full-bodied tube audio with no distortion. Dial illumination functions correctly. Tested for extended listening and performs as expected for a properly operating valve radio of this class. ? Model-Specific Technical Details (Collector Relevant). The B5X88A is a 5-tube superheterodyne receiver, designed by Philips and marketed in North America under the Norelco name. Dual speaker configuration, providing noticeably richer and wider sound than single-speaker sets. Ferrite rod antenna system (adjustable ferroceptor visible on rear panel). Heavy steel chassis with classic Philips component layout. European audio voicing known for clarity and balance rather than harsh output. The internal photos show a clean, honest chassis with period-correct components and layout. No evidence of careless modification or modern re-engineering – this appears to be a well-preserved original example rather than a parts unit. Cabinet presents very well overall. Edge wear and surface scuffs consistent with age and careful use. No cracks, major veneer loss, or structural damage. Dial glass, knobs, and trim intact and visually appealing. All cosmetic wear is accurately documented in the photos to ensure transparency. The B5X88A is a known, respected model, and working examples with good cosmetics are increasingly difficult to find.
