Default Odd, old case in luxuriant veneer...what is it? (Bush 30 line TV)

hi folks

I bet someone here knows what this is. It seems to have turned up as a curio in the window of Forsyth's, a large and venerable music shop on Deansgate in Manchester. Sorry the pictures are so bad - being through glass I could not use flash and the exposures were rather long.

It appears to have a 30s-style speaker grille and what looks like a tuning dial escutcheon, and most of the knobs are missing. There's a very 'portrait' glass screen at the front end of the bellows, and inside at the other end of the bellows there might be a mirror. The bellows has no base, only two sides (and the top is wooden).

cheers
Mark
