Reina Radio? - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Looking for information on this brand: Reina Radio (Trade Mark).
It has British Patent numbers on the tuning capacitor and a Goodmans speaker, so I think it fits in this forum. Any hints?

What's the valve line up?

The cabinet has an American look about it.

3 trimmer-holes in the top of the tuning-capacitor would suggest either it's got a RF stage (though I can't see enough valves for that) or it has a 'low' IF and uses some sort of bandpass-tuning arrangement to suppress images.

Looks similar to a Philco and very nice too.

Just had a quick look on the Radio Museum website & there appears to be a fair few models, apparently the chassis were made by Invicta?
Nice looking radio, very stylish.
