After reading this thread I was as usual looking on ePay.co.uk and stumbled upon this 1280 for sale in Düsseldorf, Germany. This one caught my eye looking similar to the 282 and is from 1935

Also you mentioned in this thread you used to have one of these as well. Being a British set with 5 "valves" but one should say 5 "valves" and a mystery toobe, bulb, discumbobulator? What is that mystery device on the left side (looking forward from the rear) and from what I gathered this is one of those AC/DC sets not using a transformer. As for DC it would fall into the category of the VE301G the wooden version of my VE301Wn except that one was for DC mains not AC. This 1280 appears to be in decent shape but is missing a knob and the back cover and if it is like my Philco 444 phinding a back cover is as difficult or worse than locating droppings from a wooden rocking horse!! Currently at EUR11.50 is very low indeed. It would probably cost 50-55EUR for shipping
