*VALVE - THE "SILENTODE"

ONE of the most remarkable things about "New" Listening" is the way stations that used to be drowned by background noise now come through clean and clear. That's because the Jubilee Radio- players are five times more sensitive. The new "Silentode" that makes this possible is an exclusivo Philips development-no other set has it. It's just one of the features that make the Radio- players years ahead in performance and appearance. Reliability and troplc-proofness are, of course, guaranteed by the name "Philips."
