A radio for my bedsit.
#8

<quote>If the model number and the tube placement diagram is correct then the set has gone through some butchery. <quote/>

Hi Arran, thanks for your review, but what you call butchery, it is called here guinea Kiwi engineering. I believe between the nineteen forties and the Internet area, it was just impossible to get rare spare parts for oversees products. (except from commonwealth countries) I can image n that if you are owner of a radio like this, you want to keep it running as long as possible.

If I find the time, I will make a photo from the underneath.

I don't know if the backplate is original, but I think so. It fits exactly in the recesses.
