Unidentified Radio
Please can anyone identify this radio or the logo seen on the dial, below what looks like a magic eye.
Thanks Mike Last edited by crackle; 27th Feb 2018 at 8:32 pm. |

Re: Unidentified Radio
Ah, I've got one of those - or a cosmetic variant, as mine looks like the RM.org set. Tandberg Huldra 4. A very nice radio indeed.

Re: Unidentified Radio
Hi Paul
Thanks, I wondered if it would be yourself, Mike T or Lawrence who would come up with the answer. The radio can be seen in the South Georgia Museum. http://www.sgmuseum.gs/index.php?tit...lers_bunk_room Thanks again. Mike Last edited by crackle; 27th Feb 2018 at 9:48 pm. |

Re: Unidentified Radio
Ah, that's probably a little out of my way for the foreseeable future. Hard to think, though, of a domestic model of the early '50s that would have given better service there: it's a superb performer, with excellent audio quality too.
The waveband turret is spectacular, and the tuning mechanism combining a set of full length scales and the shorter scales for the SW bands is nicely ingenious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4EwRdOflu8 I thought myself very fortunate to come by my set long ago at the local flea market, offered by a trader who made occasional trips to Norway to visit his wife's family there, bringing back a few interesting artefacts each time he visited.

Re: Unidentified Radio
That looks like a well engineered set, you were lucky to find one.
Thanks for the link. Mike |
