I was unable to get any history on it. And, it’s not my area of expertise. The plug is not a plug for a standard U. I was able to get an adapter to be able to test. I cannot get any sound or noise. I did notice the light behind the dial come on after it warmed up. But it is not working and I do not know what it needs. One of the reasons that I can’t get any sound or noise might be because I cannot get the dial to turn. The only other comparable one I found was in a radio museum. I do think it’s a rare radio and would be worth someone taking the time to repair that has the knowledge or talent. From what little information I was able to get, this vintage/antique radio was made in Denmark. (someone has it under a category of’Broadcast Receiver- or past WW2 Tuner’) radio in a wood case. I do not know… So please look at all the photos and please be your own judge about everything. It does show use and wear. I was told it’s from 1948. Again, I do not know. Maybe someone else will be more knowledgeable. Pictures taken of all sides/angles that will hopefully speak for the condition and description. Most of the wood looks to be intact. There are a few places of surface wear and another place on the front side, toward the bottom, that should be visible in some of the photos. It looks like maybe it went up against something and caused a crack or place in the wood. It could probably be touched up or repaired if someone wanted. Used, vintage condition, surface wear, etc… It measures approximately 21 1/2 inches across. Approximately 12 1/2 inches tall. And front to back, approximately 10 inches, minus the knobs that come out a little more on the front. It has the knobs at the bottom that adjust the dial and I assume the volume. Then there are push buttons below the dial. The scale shows it weighing about 21 pounds. Thanks for your interest and looking.
