OK I'm not really sure where to put this. Some of you may have already seen my post about the televisions in the other forum. But at the same abandoned house there was also this thing.

I'm assuming its a radio judging by google, just not sure what model or anything.
Any help would be appreciated. Thankyou!

If you need more photos. I'll have to go back to the house.

The thing sitting on top of the cabinet is a 16mm film rewinder arm and lying on the floor is a 400 foot spool of a 16mm film. Probably knackered now with all that dust etc.

Nice looking unit which would have potential for restoration...lots of work.

Yeah. the house was filled with film related stuff. And a photography magazine on the floor. So maybe a film-maker lived there.. Always so cool seeing old places and the history behind them. Thanks so much for the help
