Hi All,

Could anyone ID this one for me? Apologies I do not have better background info or images, it is not currently with me.

Thanks in advance.

Do we have a positive ID then? Is yours the AC or AC/DC model? Given that info I can update the thread title.

Lovely set, and they sound great too, here's mine in the corner of the dining room.

I'm not sure to be honest, it's in storage at the minute I'd have to check.

No hurry.

Love that corner and the lamp next to the Murphy.

I have another unusual one I'm hoping someone might shine light on. Pics attached. It was so far gone with woodworm I gave a go at repurposing. Better than dumping it.

Fantastic thanks that looks very much like it, really appreciate that it's lovely to know it's history.

There're an Alba 22 and the Henry's Contessa that have similar control layouts but neither quite fit. Maybe it's yet another kit offering of the period?
