2 Electrophones vintage, à réparer ou pour pièces - Philips modèle Diamand 16/33/45 et 78T, 220V largeur 35cm profondeur 29cm hauteur 16cm - Pathé Marconi 45 et 33T, 220V largeur 35cm profondeur 25cm hauteur 14cm Bon état général
This looks like a fair ask, leaning slightly favorable: US$73 sits just above the median US$63 and well below the 75th percentile US$129, so it’s comfortably in the normal used-market band rather than feeling stretched.
The upside is that these old Philips/Pathé Marconi electrophones have real nostalgic appeal and can be worthwhile if you want a restoration project or parts donor, especially when the cosmetics are intact. The big caveat is obvious from the listing: it’s for repair or parts, so value depends heavily on completeness, original hardware, and whether the cabinet, lid, cartridge, and tonearm are all present; at this price, I’d want enough of the set to make a restoreable starting point.

Founded in Eindhoven, Netherlands, in 1891 by Gerard Philips, an engineer, and his father Frederik, a banker, Philips began as a modest light bulb manufacturer, quickly evolving into a global electronics powerhouse through relentless innovation. The brothers' early focus on quality incandescent lamps laid the groundwork for expansion into radios, televisions, and audio milestones like the 1963 compact cassette and the 1982 Compact Disc co-developed with Sony. This heritage of pioneering formats that reshaped home entertainment cements Philips as a cornerstone of 20th-century audio history.
Philips has long excelled in consumer audio categories, from vintage turntables and cassette decks to amplifiers, speakers, and complete hi-fi systems, often blending cutting-edge tech with practical design. Iconic products like the first CD player (CD-100) and early wireless Streamium systems highlight their prowess in optical media, portable recording, and integrated sound solutions, while forays into headphones and even acquiring Marantz underscored a broad portfolio.
Today, Philips occupies a solid mid-tier position in the hi-fi market, prized by savvy buyers for reliable, value-driven performance rather than ultra-high-end exotica. No longer a full-spectrum electronics giant—having pivoted to health tech—its licensed audio branding delivers competent, innovation-rooted gear that's accessible yet evocative of golden-era nostalgia, appealing to both modern enthusiasts and vintage collectors.
