Vintage Philips?

Hi guys, hope you all don't mind me using english!

I was given the address of this forum after posting the following at
tnt-audioaddicts@yahoogroups.com

Just parted with £20 & got my hands on what must be a real early stereo
radiogram by Philips. The thing is in excellent condition, every thing works
& once warmed up the sound of the VHF radio just walks all over my nearly
new & totally fussy (as in "I ain't gonna do the biz until you erect a 100
foot ariel mate") £150 effort from Sony. Ok that is probably not a major
achievement as a lot of kit out there could manage that, but hey this old
girl must be 45 years old if she's a day & still with a sound that simply
falls out of the speakers. Incidentally the markings on the speakers are
quite faded but I'm sure I can make out a rating of 5 ohms?

The turntable's printed instruction mat gives no indication as to a model,
on the front there is just a small brass badge of the word "Stereo". However
a little label on the back reads as follows:

Philips type F5G01A
Made in Great Britain 50 HZ W95
BA 7424

Also at the back are two dipole sockets, ariel & earth sockets, external
speaker sockets & even left & right for tape out sockets. These sockets all
being the same type & size are amazingly primitive. The engineers of the day
were obviously not thinking ahead in terms of state-of-the-art hybrid
interconnection. In fact I get the impression they probably visualised a bit
of old coax held in place with a match stick.

Inside are two medium & one whacking great transformer/s all looking like
they were roughly put together in someone's garden shed. The dielectric
of the day looks like it could have been fashioned from a bit of old tarmac or pitch based damp course. Valves are 1 x Philips EZ81 the others by Mullard are 2 x ECL82, 1 x EBF89 & 1 x
ECH81.

Anyway back to the reason for writing in the first place. I was wondering if
anyone could point me in a direction where I may find more detailed info on
this model or type of radiogram? Especially tips on how to go about it's possible
restoration to showroom (or should that be demo room?) condition.

Many thanks,

Justin.
