Can you recognise this radio? - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Hi,

Can anyone identify this radio? I need to know the make and model!

Thank you.

The styling looks French, and the tuning scale would seem to confirm that.

You might try asking on a French forum such as Doctsf if your French is up to it.

It's here on a French web site.

Certainly looks like exactly the same radio, which has been fitted with Bluetooth.

The make and model haven't been identified though.

Does the OP, who appears to be in France at present, actually have the radio in his possession? If so I'd expect there to be some identification marks on the back panel.

The radio in the OP is the exact same one as the bluetooth one.

That's why I said " its here". Strange ? Does the OP actually own it? Or are we being used and abused?

It appears to be precisely the same unit, (veneer, paint spots, chipping on base, shadows etc). I'm feeling cynical about this too...

Hi.

Yes! It is the same radio! I'm doing some part time work at bluebakelite. Hope i'm not violating any rules.

In any case thanks paulsherwin, I'll try that French forum, see if I get any luck!

Thanks to all

I wouldn't think a straightforward query about provenance would break any rules. It's not as if there's any commercial advantage to knowing what model a generic French set is. We now know what the score is anyway.
