Greetings, just took delivery of my parents Astor clock radio. It is burgandy and cream. the face is cream with the rest of the body being burgandy. the clock is central to the face, the clock face has a second hand and there are four white knobs protruding from the clock face.

The clock has an alarm.

The radio face is below the clock and is a strip. the tuning and volume knobs are each side of the radio face. I had lost the radio face for Victorian stations but my mum had kept the spare QLD, NSW and WA/SA optional faces. I intend to utilise one of those. The clock runs but the radio has ceased working. It is being restored by a antique radio repair service. There is a long anennae wire and the radio is in good condition. it has four screws holding the back of the radio to the main body, and there is a carry slot in the back.

Question is there a site that I can visit that would display all of the Astor radio models of this era, circa 1950? I don't know the model number but the radio has the original stickers on the back warning of the dangers of electricity etc.

cheers
