I don't know if it was intended for rural areas or not, the tube lineup and the fact that it has two thumbwheel driven tuning dials, a lift up lid, and a horn speaker, suggests that it's an early console. It looks like the most difficult part will be repairing or reproducing the fretwork in the speaker grille, the electrical part should be fairly straightforward.

Arran
