Steve,

Rereading and rereading the brochure (for the 33rd time) I still cannot determine what this set is....the brochure was for the introduction of colour stes to Oz in 1974/75.

It has a series of 9 pictures of early Philips colour sets of which this is the first one...the pictures are labeled K1-K8..which now makes me wonder if the this set is a mistake or is mislabeled or is in fact just a B/W set from the late 40s - early 50s????

The K1 we all know and love is similar is style to most roundies...I would be interested to know what your UK friend thought of the early Philips/Norelco sets?

Philips sets here have always had excellent colour (actually probably the best on a standard conventionally available set) but have been a little more unreliable than their Japanese counterparts.
