Heck John
Further checking seems to tell me that the link above could very well be your Radio. Nice looking unit!
Lots of Philips Radio Models from that era, could fix you up with what you are looking for. Models 152; 922; 924; 301A; 392; 390A or BE412 also has a lot in common.

Hi Ralph
Please accept my sincere apologies, I don’t get on the CVRS website as often as I should as you can tell from my reply. Thanks for looking for me. I managed to rewind the antenna coil successfully, the radio works great. Also found four knobs that aren’t original, but hey, only a purist would spot the difference. The glass cleaned up not too bad as well. It isn’t perfect either but more than acceptable as is. I absolutely hate trashing any good radios for parts, a parts mule… well that’s a different thing, I’m good with that.
