Greetings, I can't imagine its a scratch built homebrew set because it has a custom tube surround. A kit seems more likeley.
The originl soldering looks quite professional, it has been modified and repaired over the years though.
Some parts look broken, wirewound resistors coming apart. There is a very early Radiospares capacator under the chassis.
Although it is an interseting historical itam I do like the things I keep to be in working condition and I see little chance of this working again as it has no power supply and there is no sound receiver either. I am tempted to test the circuits and see what can be coaxed into life however.
Probably the best outcome is for someone else to rescue it and give provide a lving home. I'm going to another car boot sale in the morning, who knows what I'll find tomorrow ...
Kind regards, David.
