Yes, looks very like this one:

Interesting that the tuning dial actually says "Blue Spot" at the top, unusual (at least to me) to find the anglicised version of the manufacturer used on a relatively late set.

Must be a snip at the price.

It was the Blaupunkt logo on the tuning scale.

I've heard back from the seller, he says the back cover has 2225 on it, so that confirms the model number in the link provided by PAUL_RK, and that it has all its valves. I won't be able to see it till next Friday, but 1st come 1st served... anyone?
