Re: Philips TX mono portable.
It would be interesting to know if Philips Spain (later to become Tecnimagen) had their own small screen B/W chassis. They did design their own low end colour chassis to use instead of the CTX chassis. I think it was called CTZ.

From which set is the picture of the tuner? Regarding the picture tube, I think only Philips Taiwan made those 12VCUP4 tubes, but there may have been a design revision. If you ever happen to open up the sets, maybe you could have a look at the white stamped marks on the CRT bell. |

EDIT: I found a 12TX3001/02S with TX3 chassis, dated llate 1985, which was made in Ovar, Portugal. They may have also produced TX and TX2 sets. Last edited by Maarten; 12th Nov 2018 at 9:04 pm. |

Re: Philips TX mono portable.
In post #1 DJ Fivos mentions Philips TV assembly in Greece. Do you have any more details on that? Impossible to find anything other than that Philips had a JV (85% or so) in Athens doing Audio and Video set assembly. All details or references are welcome.
By the way, in the next update of my Philips Tuner history will be a first - but probably still incomplete - overview of the Philips TV assembly fabs. Cheers, Pieter |

Re: Philips TX mono portable.
Thanks Maarten, I didn't know about the /07 as a designation for Ireland. Is there a list available online of all the designations?
The picture of the tuner was in the higher serial number set. As for the crts, the guns also quite different in construction. Cheers, John Joe. |

Re: Philips TX mono portable.
Execution numbers are somewhat of a mess, and the official documentation is mostly lacking. /05, /07, /13, /19 and maybe a few others are mentioned in video recorder service documentation sometimes. Also there's two systems and small changes and additions are made on the fly. I've been collecting them for some years now, I have to reorganize and compile a partial list one of these days.
About the different CRT's, it could be that one of them was originally based on a A34-xxxW design and the other on a Far East or US design but compatible. If you ever have the sets open, I'm interested in the codes. The tuner being in the higher serial number set, sort of suggests that set could actually be the older one, as the tuner is dated week 38 of 1980. The low serial number set itself is dated week 16 of 1981. Of course an old stock tuner may have been used, but the difference is a bit larger than normal.
