Help with identification please.
Can anyone help with identification and age of this radio I picked up the other day along with the KB 830.
No markings on back or front at all. Thanks in advance. |

Re: Help with identification please.
I thought the grille looked a bit Ekco-ish in the thumbnail, but not so much in the full-size version.
The valve line-up might provide a clue.

Possibly a generic "store" or catalogue radio?
Radio Rentals perhaps?

Re: Help with identification please.
That waveband switch above the tuning dial reminds me of a Radio Rentals set.
Can you post a picture of the chassis? |

Hi,
It’s a McCarthy (Felgate Radio), I have a service sheet (maybe just a diagram) somewhere, there are some variations of chassis. Pic of mine attached. Probably an MC422 1949ish. John |

Re: Help with identification please.
That's a new name to me , not heard of that one.
Looked it up online and I see they made Televisions under the Defiant name for the CO-OP too. |
