Default Re: Can anyone identify the make of this radio?

Yhttps://w1ujr.com/1930s-doerle-sets-historical-perspective/Yes it is that one, and i have since found out what it is, a 40 meter SW receiver please. See:

https://w1ujr.com/1930s-doerle-sets-...l-perspective/

Thank you everyone youu input, and at times slightly sarchastic humour.

After digging deep into the web i found out that it is a Doerie 1930's two tube forty meter short wave radio receiver!

Please see: https://w1ujr.com/1930s-doerle-sets-...l-perspective/ for a description.

Every part matches!

Interesting how someone would end up building an American design in the UK.

Radio radio does not show the donor cabinet as far as I can see.

Looking at the photos from the auction house, there does appear to be a frame aerial inside the cabinet, with its connecting wires at the upper left viewed from the back. The crosshead screws visible are in corner reinforcements for a plywood frame all round the inside of the cabinet. There is a hole in the cabinet side through which you can just see some of the frame wires.
