Radio Identification required
#4

It's definately a British made console set, even though it uses an "airplane" style dial the cabinet design is much narrower then a North American set would be. The tubes/valves also appear to be Phillips style with a metal spray shield. What I also notice is that it does not have a power transformer, it appears to have a large power resistor and possibly a dry metal rectifier near one corner of the chassis, it may be an AC/DC set. Whatever you do don't try plugging it in as is, that set has been in a damp environment and really needs to be gone over before even trying to power it up. I think it's worth restoring but it's a job for someone with a lot of experience.
Regards
Arran
