Couldn't agree more! BTW I am in process of restoring it's very well used face. I have re-graphed the front layout and it is ready to print but I am still researching the matterial to print and looking for think plastic paper-thick printable layer. Which I may glue it back on the front face covering all buttons to make it look youger again. I have print on the normal paper it looks very good but I am affraid it won't last long as it is just a paper. But once I found apprpriate matteriel to print the front face button labels I will make a small video to share with community. This radio is excellent in technical terms working absolutly as a charm only the matterial on the front face is decomposed with time and intensive use I guess! Wish me luck to bring back a charming face to this Philips. Fingers Crossed. Thanks for support
@@johnturner9239 Thanks John for asking. Overley is ready & already printed & plastic-coated so it won't get damaged with regular use. Now I have to cut the Tuning knob, LCD Screen & LED Tuning indicator area nicely and glue it gently on the surface. I plan to record the entire process and share it with the community as this simple idea might help many people to restore old equipment & even tune the dials of old and obsolete radio models very easily. So stay tuned for episode II of Philips D2935 World Radio Receiver soon. Cheers & many thanks for your support.
Hi Tony, I was surprised too :) but that was the quality Philips was known to produce in past by always using class-A electronic components in their consumer electronic products. I wish they could continue ....
I wish there are more SW channels to listen to but the sad reality is there are so very few channels these days. Soon SW will become a distant memory. Really sad since I grew up listening to SW radio.
Me too but it seems that the world has moved out of the HF spectrum and the focus is on streaming over the internet nowadays. I wish BBC, VOA, DW, Radio Netherlands International and many other known SW broadcasters would have kept their World Service over the SW frequencies. But that's all about the evolution of emerging technologies old technologies had to be phased out I guess...
Commercial SWL radios, old and new, always seem to go out of their way with overly large speakers visible through gaudy grills, ponderous arrays of buttons, cheesy telescoping antennas, crappy front end sensitivity, and non-existent tuning discrimination. Better to buy a quality ham rig and set it up for receive only.
You are absolutely right about that! It all started with National Panasonic Radios introducing the large speaker with visible grills and other bells & WHISTLES & followed by everyone else. It might also be the signature of the era of consumer electronics at the time. HAM radio equipment is well thought out & built keeping the technical audience in mind where these were for everyone else just to listen to the music & news on the air with cheesy marketing approach I guess. But thanks for pointing it out, truly appreciated your valuable input & appreciated your support of the channel. Cheers

I am surprised that it still works. A lot of radios that old have capacitor problems.
