In Reply to: An appeal for information.... posted by jcoe on March 16, 2007 at 08:40:09:
"I simply do not believe that there were this many factories that were actually MAKING tubes. My guess is that, at the very least, tubes were produced in Europe and then recoded or shipped to dummy factories and recoded. I can only believe that this was done to avoid duties, etc."---That is a bogus speculation. Most of the plants listed on the Philips factory codes produced in large quantities and thrived for 1-3+ decades. Philips Eindhoven had very wide production and distribution network in all parts of the world. Philips was probably the most recognized consumer electronics brand from 1950s-1970s outside US.
As it is typical of TOT or turnkey operations, internals would have been sourced from the parent company for a brief period of time and then produced locally.
