1958/59 Philips L1G75/00L

Micro-table / coat pocket radio, thermoplastic cabinet
6 5/8 x 3 1/2 x 1 3/8 inches / 168 x 89 x 35 mm
MW, seven transistors (OC44, 2x OC45, 2x OC72, two unidentified)
Superheterodyne circuit, hand-wired chassis
Four 1.5v AA cells
Manufactured by Philips Great Britain

A true bright red cabinet, less common than the burgundy red cabinet found on several other "Fanette" models. The MW dial is calibrated in meters rather than kHz, and it also displays a number of MW broadcasters by name or location. Note that the British-made L1G75T, and possibly this model as well, is labeled not as a "Fanette" but as a "Personic" according to the service manual cover page shown below.

Two OC72 transistors (aluminum cans) are mounted on the top side of the circuit board, as well as three black Euro Common Type transistors — OC44 (Z2 kA), 2x OC45 (R2 kA). (The two transistors mounted on the underside of the circuit board can't be identified because one of the three speaker screws is frozen and won't give up for anything no matter how many days it soaks in WD-40, but a good guess is that it's a pair of OC71s.)
