surprisetech Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 I had all three for quite a while. I worked at Philips when they came out. Picked them up on clearance from the Staff Shop when they were superseded. They were my main system for a little while, then remained as a 2nd system for a long time. They are very nice components. The Tuner was right up there with other high-end tuners of the time. Very sensitive, Wide/Narrow IF selection and great sound. I loved it, but moved the whole system on when my daughter took over my bungalow for her dress-making studio. I bought 2 of the power amps and still have the 2nd one. However, it is modified with 19" rack ears and chrome handles, as I was putting a little PA system together on a very tight budget at the time. The protection circuit makes it idiot-proof. It was replaced in the PA system many years ago. I've kept it as a spare, but can't recall the last time it was used. I've thought about moving it on, but while the rack ears can be removed without leaving too much mess, the handles that I bolted to the front panel would leave 4 M5 or M6 holes if removed. Can take some photos if you're interested. I have the manual for the AH360 and can supply it as a PDF if you need it. It includes the circuit schematic.

Cheers, thanks again. Sure, just give me a few days. We're moving house soon and I think it might be in storage with my snake cables!!

Crbforbob Posted February 27, 2020 Author Posted February 27, 2020 Hi, we chatted a couple of weeks ago and you were in the middle of a shift at the time. Did you find the old Philips pieces you thought you had stashed away ? I understand you're probably now still unpacking but I thought I'd check in. Cheers in advance. Craig.
