Identify this radio.
Can anyone help identify this radio? I think it could be TRF type. It was in a vintage shop where I attended a classic car show. Was just intrigued as the shop owner didn't seem to know either.
Many thanks Dave. |

Re: Identify this radio.
Very stylish! Reminiscent of early '30s Marconi or KB but can't find anything that matches. I'd give it houseroom.....

I thought it looked a bit like a Bush that had had the tops lopped off.

Re: Identify this radio.
The cabinet looks reminiscent of an old Marconi radiogram.

Re: Identify this radio.
If it's trying to send a message it looks like a big T.

Anything written on the back panel?

It has a bit of an American look to it.

Re: Identify this radio.
I could not get to the back panel. I had to move away a load of items that were piled up in front of it so I was already in disfavour with the shop assistant. It was up against a book case. I might email them to see if there is any more info on this set.

Re: Identify this radio.
There seems to be a tree motif in the speaker fret.

Re: Identify this radio.
I can't read the label.
It seems to have lost a peg, it's on the floor. I'm betting on a cabinet maker's one off with a standard chassis of the period. In which case it could have an American heritage in part. |

Re: Identify this radio.
"Shop Assistant" the clues in the name. Bit of a Fawlty Towers attitude there!
