I wonder why the seller claims to have Phillips tubes when the picture clearly shows Rogers tubes ? Rogers made tubes in Toronto for over 50 years. Ted Rogers Sr invented the "batteryless radio" when he developed tubes that would work with an AC filament. His Ham call was 9RB and his radio station later became CFRB...on the air to-day ...still...1010 Khz The "RB" part stands for "Rogers Batteryless"
