Thanks you so much for your welcome Ron and David! yes the unit still has its original back, and the model number printed on it is A. 3661. Its definitely made in Britain.

The plug on the power cord is not the original. The present has 2 round pins as the model has been in Athens, Greece since the early 50's (as far as we know). 1948-1950 time frame seems possible?

All the best,

Evangelos

IF can wire size and Rubber mounts?
Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
