Default Unknown Valve Radio

Anyone know much about this as there is no marking, looks like a few valves are missing.

Few parts on the board are Telsen ratio 5-1 radiogrand audio transformer and Ferranti Output Transformer OP3

It is a home made radio from a mixture of parts that were available in catalogues such as "Browns"

Hi Scott, without too much work you should be able to get it working.
Modernish (1950's) valves will suffice to get it working.

It looks like a basic detector and 2 L.F. circuit, and easy to trace out. I can't see anything missing (unconnected terminals or wires going nowhere).
As Ed says, it should be easy to get working.
Assuming all the transformer windings are intact, of course.
You will need a loudspeaker with an output transformer, or headphones. Tony.
