Default Mystery TV in London

This looks interesting- possibly late 40s? I don't recognise it and the photos are poor (although good enough to tell that a new crt is required)

Interesting to see and it doesn't look immediately familiar! I've reproduced and enhanced the seller's main picture below.

It looks a bit like this Rediffusion.

In the yext it talks about similar looking models under the Redifon name.

I think you've got it Mike. That looks precisely the set to me. It's a shame about the tube but it's got to be worth saving for the rarity value. I've never seen a Rediffusion as early as that before. I wonder if it's mains EHT?
