Description
Vintage Bakelite Radio for restoration (Collection only due to weight and possible damage through postage. Viewings welcomed and sensible offers considered)
This was the first English radio to be produced and sold commercially after WW2 and it dates to 1945.
Very nice Art Deco shape and would be a great project for someone to restore.
It is being solid as a restoration item (or for spares & repairs,) although it does crackle when plugged into the mains, just cannot get it to tune into any station.
