Philips Holland was the originator and pioneer of valve radio sets in Europe from the beginning.

One of the very best radio sets from the beginning of the Philips radio production is the Philips 2511. It is exceptional well constructed and features a cascade of 2 h.f. amplifiers plus AVC. The masterpiece of this set is the 3-fold precision tuning capacitor, in combination with three high-quality h.f. coils. This construction delivers not only a high sensitivity, but also an optimal selectivity.

Such a set is not lightweight, it weights 22 kg without the loudspreker.

This set was sold all over the world, and was an immediate succes. It was the start of the international expansion of the Philips brand. More then 120.000 sets were produced. The Philips 2511 was introduced in 1928.
