Re: Unknown radio
My very first thought when I saw that was that it had the look of an Ekco set. Tuning on the left isn't like them though is it?

Re: Unknown radio
This could well be one of those "no name", 3 band, 5 valve AM Superhets that were sold in chassis-only form by many of the radio component specialists at that time. The missing output valve is highly likely to be an EL84.

Re: Unknown radio
My immediate guess was a no-name department-store or similar radiogram chassis, but we'll see. The prominent gram. option on the waveband switch points to a radiogram, and the absence of FM in the '60s (and it doesn't look much older than the '60s if at all) signifies a fairly low budget.

Re: Unknown radio
I also thought it looked like a cheap radiogram chassis.

Re: Unknown radio
It certainly looks like the ones that were sold by John James in the sixties Falcon brand comes to mind.

Re: Unknown radio
That green looking electrolytic capacitor on the op transformer looks a bit out of place.
