Citroman Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Did find this strange radio. Apart from the dutch and french markings on the front there is not any marking on the set. The dial even doesn't have frequency markings on it but numbers. The hands function like those of a clock. The valves seem to be from the 40s. Could also be Civil Defense. Did anoyone see one of those yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citroman Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 I did have a quick check of the thing it seems that they build a 220volt power supply chassis on the left next to the original green chassis. Maybe it was an battery operated unit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citroman Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 I cleaned the interior from a lot of dust and it turns out most valves are prewar and 1 is german Reichsluftfahrtministerium and one is british WD issue... So the thing is older than i thought. I think the wooden frame is build later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citroman Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 Got out another valve, surprise it was marked Kriegsmarine...so they used parts from everywhere... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earlymb Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 The markings in both Dutch and French would indeed indicate Belgian use. This pale grey-green is more associated with CD than military use I think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
