I don't know about the /15 suffix, but it's a car radio made around 1958/1959:-

Valve based car radios are probably of more interest to classic car enthusiasts than to members of this forum, so you may not get a value here. The best thing to do is check similar items on eBay (search completed items) to get an idea of price.

I'm afraid you won't make a fortune though.

These radios sometimes had a separate power supply. If this model did and it's missing the radio is probably worthless.

It could be. Sometimes the power supply is mounted remotely from the rest of the radio and the pair are connected by a multiway cable.

Assuming you radio has a 12V power lead/s, an antenna connection and a speaker connection it's probably complete.

Hi John, before connecting it to a supply make sure if it is positive or negative earth. Early sets were not interchangable and usually positive earth.

/15 just means that it's a UK variant in some way.
