Mystery dial
I recently bought a box of oddments which included this dial. Can anyone identify the set it belongs to, please?

Re: Mystery dial
Just resurrecting this thread with what could be a bit of information, if you use this link: -
https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Rad...RC-1950-11.pdf It is for the magazine Radio constructor and starting on page 112 converting the TR1196 which is not really the point, but the picture seems a good match the dial and describes an OSMOR all wave coil pack, which I would assume came with a suitable dial to go with it. So I would suggest around the 1950's these were available to constructors etc. Adrian Last edited by AdrianH; 22nd Aug 2021 at 11:32 pm. |

Re: Mystery dial
On this forum, have a look at the Marconi 571 dial that has been beautifully restored by Gabe001 - General Vintage Technology - Success stories. It's not the same dial, but the concept is very similar

Re: Mystery dial
Hi
From what I can gather, Cellgrave (Catford, London) were a company specialising in producing radio dials for other manufacturers. Presumably a contraction of Celluloid Engravers ? Their name on the dial would be low down so that it was normally hidden from view. |

Re: Mystery dial
Marconi shape. Post war from the BBC station names.
