Nearly all of the delta-gun sets had that arrangement. The Philips G8
had them under an oversized plastic speaker grille which was fixed by
a single screw hidden by a nameplate beneath the grill.

As did its predecessor, the G6. A wondrous piece of over engineered
electronics. Partially, at least.

The G6 was my worst nightmare to repair.

True - but nothing a few new valves wouldn't sort, normally. But it did
have an excellent picture when set up properly.

My favourite set of all time
was the Decca Bradford chassis and its derivatives, partially because
it was the first colour set I ever owned.

I kept the G6 going until the early 80s - mainly because the cabinet
suited by room. Then gutted the set and fitted a Philips Matchline in the
cabinet. Which lasted until decent widescreen became affordable - and the
changeover to digital.
