Tip top restoration - it obviously fell into the right hands Dave!
Lovely sets with a splendid dial. Are you going to allow us to look inside?

Re: 1939 pilot little meastro
Hello all , I have attached some photos, the plug came with the radio. The back panel took ages to straighten there is a bit more info in Vintage Radio Domestic, but I did say I would put it here IF I got it working.
Thanks, Dave. |

Re: 1939 pilot little meastro
Nice job, I have one identical on "the to do list. I'm wondering looking at the chassis how it drops the mains current!
Has anyone spotted one of these in the new "All creatures great and small" TV show. It sit's on the window ledge, a mistake as the set came out in 1939 and the program set in 1937.
