Hi,
I did my time with a company called Chandlers Service in the early 70's, and worked with a guy who in his earlier years had worked with a radio manufacturing company in Sydney. I am sure one of the radios this company used to produce was called a Mendelson Music Master. Dave used to tell me that when they finished making a radio, they would put their initials on a small sticker on the chassis, and my grandfather had one of these radio's with this guy's initials on this sticker. The initials being DNL. Has anybody ever heard of this brand of radio.

Many thanks

I have heard of Mendelsohn. I am not sure what sort of market share they had or which states they sold radios in though. They were probably one of the smaller brands.

Music Master, built in Brisbane and named after famous composers. If you want to know more can find out from 2 people who worked there.
