That sounds like a Rad 12, I had one way back when. Controls and everything else in the same positions as on the 24, but the early version of the 12, with those conical knobs that were originally silvered, seems to have become fairly scarce - I could only find one photo and that's missing a knob.

I think that's one of the models that started out in a padded wooden cabinet then was changed to a plastic one of almost identical appearance, just as they did with the Rad 11.
Must admit on the couple of occasions a decades-old radio in this condition has come my way I've swiftly returned it, with or without a quick test, to its box so that in due course someone else will have the joy of finding it pristine (and I'll probably snatch an occasional further glance myself...)
