I know two "main variants" of the K12: The simple, cheap model with 8 ch push-button tuner, the 4x8 fullrange speaker and some really crappy sliding controls for volume and tone that never work as they are supposed to. Interestingly, the picture on those sets are always far worse than the more expensive K12s. The expensive ones has a better looking cabinet, two-speaker hifi sound and electronic ch selectors with 8 or 12 selections.

That's not the K35 Hifi i'm thinking about. The one i have is a Hifi MONO. It has a 4 (or maybe 5?) inch woofer in a bass reflex cabinet like on the K12 and a separate tweeter. The push-pull amplifier is mounted on its own circuit board, and the power is provided by a transformer of the same size that you find in a microwave oven. The speaker grill is detachable and underneath there is chrome plated frames around the speakers and bass reflex port. I guess yours is a K35 Stereo? As far as i know, the "Hifi" in Philips TVs refers to the bass reflex speaker systems. In that way it is either "Hifi" OR Stereo. The only "Hifi Stereo" set i know of is the K12Z.
