The item visible is a glass-envelope electronic tube, cylindrical in shape, with a metal base and several exposed pins. The complex internal structure, typical of vacuum tubes, is clearly visible through the transparent wall. The original box, made of blue cardboard with a technical pattern, features the yellow \"PHILIPS\" logo and a schematic illustration of the tube on the front. The overall presentation suggests a manufacturing date most likely from the mid-20th century, a period of widespread use of tube equipment by Philips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe tube has an elongated silhouette, with a rounded upper dome and a multi-pin metal base. The glass surface appears to be in good visual condition, with no apparent cracks or chips on the exposed side. The internal elements, such as grids and anodes, are clear and well-aligned, which corresponds to the manufacturing standards of vintage radio tubes. The box, although complete, shows significant signs of wear, including crushed corners, creases, and a visible tear on the lower right part. The cardboard colors remain vibrant, and the tube illustration remains legible and faithful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \"PHILIPS\" brand is clearly visible on the box, highlighting the authenticity of the item. No specific model reference appears on the visible side, but the design of the packaging and the tube refers to Philips productions from the 1950s-1960s, often used in domestic radio sets or certain vintage audio equipment. This type of electronic tube (also called a \"valve\" in British English) was essential for signal amplification and modulation in radio and Hi-Fi devices of that period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe tube is presented outside its packaging, placed vertically, allowing its technical details and retro aesthetic to be appreciated. The original box, despite its flaws, is an asset for presentation for connoisseurs or for display in a showcase dedicated to vintage radio or industrial decor. The absence of any mention of testing suggests that the item is sold strictly as untested, for decorative purposes or for technical restoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nUsed item, sold as is.
