Pye Model P Radio - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

I've just acquired a Pye radio that has 'Model P' stamped on the inside of the wooden case. There is no plate attached to the chassis that would help me identify this radio. I cannot find any info about this set on the web & it is not the model P from 1933. I would say it was a 1950's set. It measures 19"W x 9.5"D x 16.5"H. As I said a wooden case, the dial is vertical, set to the right, MW/LW/SW, with knobs for volume & dial plus 11 small round push buttons for on/off, bass, wave change & pre-set stations. Can anyone give me an accurate model number & any info on this set please?

Your description does very much sound like the Pye model P shown below. If it is the same then service data for this set is available from the link at the top right corner of the page.
