Found this old radio with lots of lines and numbers for the tuner face. I don't know if they are FM, AM or SW. Anyway, does the 485 means using that same 485 tube? How much will this cost to be considered as a good price? I am planning to use it for AM listening only if it has an AM section. Any web link for Philips radios? Thanks

I'm not quite sure about the radio itself, but you do find that many of the European radios use Telefunken tubes. Most often times the tubes alone are worth many times the price of the radio.

It's worth taking a peek inside to see what brand the tubes are.
