Blue spot mystery set - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Hi all,
Been asked to restore this set for a friend who got said set at a flea market;
It is an AC mains 4 valve + rectifier set of some quality. I can find no model number on it anywhere. Set looks quite tidy apart from one valve that is shedding it's metalised overcoat as though it is Summer

Anyone seen or know this set, or better still have any circuit details I could have a copy of?
Thanks,
Paul.

Hi,
Yes ant the whole thing is only 8 1/2 inches deep!
I don't know which flea market he got it at but it is not around here (Northumberland) and he was sold it as a "Loudspeaker", for a tenner

Meanwhile back to Chritmas I am not allowed to touch it today

Best wishes all,
Paul.
