Philips made very nice Professional HF/Broadcast transmitters in the 1960s. The competition from the German Siemens and Telefunken was clearly present.
Unfortunately, this department is a thing of the past. Philips only makes expensive medical equipment for hospitals.
The HF NXP Chip division was sold to third parties in the USA and other Countries.

Servo part for fast frequency switching. Within 10 seconds on all frequencies from 1.6 - 30 mHz. set automatically by means of servo motors. Unfortunately, the control unit was not included, but with the current techniques for servo control, this can be realized on a Euro printed circuit board.
