It's interesting to note in the write-up that there are two additional holes for a push pull output stage when the chassis was used in the radiogram version. It looks to me as though there is a vertical magic eye at the LH end of the tuning dial, though no mention in the write-up or valve line-up unless I'm mistaken. I must check out the circuit.
I see that the tuning knob has fallen victim to the 'lost knob-bright syndrome' which afflicts Roberts R200/300s etc.
It was interesting to see the set in Shugborough, but I can't help wondering if it is simply a prop. Would he really have kept it around for so long? Unlikely I would have thought, unless he was a vintage radio enthusiast too. You never know.
