Default Unknown Radio (Yendi)

Has anybody come across one of these radios before, and can you confirm the maker and model number.
On the back it says, 1978 UK Design Reg. No. 983206
thanks
Mike

It looks like an ITT radio to me.

As Sam says, it doesn't appear to be made for the UK market. Apart from that it looks like a typical late 70s Hong Kong cheapie.

Yendi is a place in Ghana, though that's probably just a coincidence.

So German not Dutch, odd to have a UK design number.

I thought the tuning scale looked a bit Germanic.

Maybe it's a Hong Kong design registered in London.

The link to the Ultrasound radio is interesting, so it looks like it is possibly not British after all, and as you say the dial is not exactly marked with British stations.

It does look like an up market far east set, well worth preserving for at least history and a working radio.

Its not my radio, it was a proposal for a new model in the Radio Museum.
Although it has mention of UK reg. design number, it appears to be made for the German market, but not being certain we have listed it as an EU unknown make.

Thanks for your help.
