 Fig. 1 The Philetta B2D13A 
 
 
-You would like to retrace the life and journey of one of Philip’s most iconic radios? Well, let me introduce myself: I am the cult classic Philips Philetta. The B2D13A from 1961, boasting an ivory-colored case to be precise. This is not just about me though. I intend to highlight the whole life story of us Philettas, produced since the 1940s.

 I am popular. I am successful. I am venerated. I am legendary. I am iconic. I was all these things at least. Now I am old. I am outdated. I am replaced. People do not need radios like me anymore. Entertainment takes place in other places now. But back then, I and my series would rule the segment, being compact and very affordable. My owners really loved me. I am so ingeniously designed, not only when it comes to my looks but also my functions. With the live content I received, I used to be their gateway to the world.
 
-What do I look like you might ask? I am compact, stiffly rectangular yet harmoniously rounded. My body is made of plastic, colored ivory but I also come in brown, beige, or gold Bakelite, or made of wood. Dark recessed strips are painted around the front panel. My speakers are covered by a gold-tinted perforated metal grid, which is covered again by a transparent bulky plastic grid painted in gold that makes me look like the radiator grill of an American car. At the top center of the grid, you can find a Philips logo. Underneath this large grid sits a one-piece plastic dial showing a number of radio stations. Left and right of this dial are two cream or brass-colored plastic knobs which are trimmed in brass. The right one tunes AM or FM, while the left one regulates the volume and the tone control. At the bottom of this dial sits a button set consisting of five cream-colored buttons. With these buttons, my 4 bands can be changed, and I can be turned on or off. Underneath these buttons, you can find my name, majestically spelled out in caps. Arguably, the most special thing about me is the indirect partial lighting of my front panel. Two pilot lamps were edge-mounted at the bottom of my dial. This not only lights up the dial but also casts a soft glow over the transparent plastic grid. You should look at me. I am so pretty, so elegant and chic, especially when the room is dimly lit. My soft glow will enchant you. Many say it makes me look sacred. I have even provided quite some romantic moments to my owners…I’ll have to tell you more about that later. In all I weigh 3,7 kg and measure 28,5 x 18 x 16,5 cm.

To truly understand who I am, I have to take you through the entire story of the Philetta series, produced since the 1940s ![image](https://github.com/C2DH/maison-du-son/assets/146004906/a81c9b73-db70-48fe-b1e0-1b70e1d6b21e)
