Yes, it is an interesting radio and probably the last one of it's like to be made by GEC in the UK, rather like its contemporary, the UK made Murphy "Overlander" (in a white cabinet) model B845, which didn't have a built-in mains operation facility, only two SW bands and fewer other features.

I have an example of the Japanese made Bush VTR178, which is similar to the GEC 2451 and was sold around the same time. It too is not designed and constructed to be "service engineer friendly".
