On the bench I have a Sobell valve radio, 1940 / 1950 vintage, the cardboard back of which states 'model 516'. Yet when I do an Internet search for that model, I get pictures of a 516 that look nothing like mine at all! (Yes - the back of mine is clearly the correct back!)
So, same model name but different radio?

Any explanations, please?
