Default Does anyone recognise this radio?

I saw this and wondered what it was.

Any ideas?

I like the "meter" style dial.

Hi

Looking at the knob placement, it has some semblance to a Murphy.

Regards,

I think the clue is the knobs,if I could remember where I saw that type.

Those knobs look exactly like those on my “Waites” radiogram from the early 30s. “Waites” were made in Warwickshire, Leamington Spa I believe.

If this is the set currently for sale on eBay, the rear of the set shows A441. Can't see any name on it though and it appears to have been a rental set.
