This receiver - which appears to be a MARR R121M - was found fitted to an RAF seaplane tender bought after the end of the German occupation of Jersey at the end of WW2. It was removed shortly afterwards and stored in a cellar. The owner would like to find out whether it was an original fit. Can anyone throw any light on this?

Thanks

Martin

A quick Google suggests that J.B. Marr & Co. made radios to Marconi Marine specifications (Circa 1962 Google Books snippet)

EDIT: Sorry..correction, J.B. Marr made control panels etc to Marconi Marine specifications.
