Michael, European radios up to 1933...35 are very difficult to compare with American radios of the same period because of their technological backwardness. It is better not to mention Soviet radios of this period at all, the technological backwardness was 10...15 years and only the most primitive detector (!) radios and regenerators on one...four radio tubes were produced. But since 1934, Europe began to catch up with the United States in the development and production of superheterodynes and despite the small number of valves, the culture of chassis assembly at such companies as Philips, Telefunken, Lorenz or Saba was absolutely not inferior to such technological monsters as Philco, E.H. Scott RSA or Zenith. The only difference is a much smaller number of valves. Perhaps that is why more attention was paid to design, but in my opinion it was quite monotonous. American manufacturers have much more creativity
