Default Help radio ID, anyone know this one?

Trying to identify the make and model of this radio. The label on the back looks like it's been removed at some point?

I think it's KB - but model ?

Looks more like a Raymond or Derwent than KB

Central Equipment , Perivale

But with someone else's logo.

Thanks everyone,

After a bit more looking around and with your info i have found that the "Raymond F17" is very close. The chassis looks identical and all the parts i've checked so far seem to be the same.

Intertwined in that logo are stylised J and two Gs. So it looks like a good fit for the J G Graves retailers, but as to who made it....

It's remarkable how many of these sets are around, despite their only having been offered under brands that were quite obscure at least in the radio context. Almost every year or two there's a new request for information on one or other of them, resulting in a thread with one or more links back to previous threads. I've owned a couple of Derwent versions, and bought a Raymond one at our local auction just a fortnight ago.
