Does anyone have any information on it? Year, CCT etc. Thanks

Here is a link to the manual. www.nzvrs.pl.net/ccc/Philips/Philips%20BZ246U%20-%205V%20BC%20ACDC%20-%2019xx.pdf

I guess approx. early 1950s If the oscillator coil is VK 471 44 it's an early set.
Use isolating 'xformer is the safest way when working on AC/DC sets. Check mains polarity.
I have one in my collection. David
