I recently purchased the pictured radiogram and I was hoping someone would have a little information about it. It was made by Music Masters Radio Co. and has the serial number H102 on the back. I have searched google images and cannot find another like it. Thank you in advance.

It might be useful to get a photo of the chassis and numbers off valves

That's a console radio, not a radiogram. A radiogram has an electric gramophone within it (hence the 'gram').

Unless it's been in regular recent use, do not be tempted to power it up as doing so will unnecessarily risk damaging hard to replace components.

A well-lit, in-focus photo of the rear and list of valve types may help identification of the model.

Thanks for the comments and info, as you can tell I am a novice at these things.
