Vintage Radio Identification Sought
Can anyone help identifying this radio which looks very like a 1939 Pilot Little Maestro 1939-45 as can be seen at:-
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gv_idtcK1-E except that the tuning dial is different. Perhaps an earlier or export model? Thank you. |

Re: Vintage Radio Identification Sought
Unfortunately the only available external photo is poor and of a set with a heavily damp-affected dial, but I think this Raymond may be the model:

I've just done a Raymond electric f17 and it looks like it uses the same (or a very similar) chassis. It was quite a straightforward set to work upon and performance and sound quality are quite respectable. I was pleasantly surprised.

Re: Vintage Radio Identification Sought
I have what seems to be the Bakelite version of your radio, I've never been able to workout what mine is, there is nothing on the back and the logo unclear.
Maybe the same chassis was use by different manufactures.

Hello Clive,
The monogram in the dial centre is JGG - it's the version by J. G. Graves of Sheffield. https://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/...ad.php?t=57338 Paul |

Re: Vintage Radio Identification Sought
The position of the dial pointer and knobs suggests that the picture in the YouTube video was lifted from these forums.
