Hi,

does anyone have a picture or can point me to a link that
will show what a 1936 awa fisk radiola model r155 may look like.
the chances are that I have seen one before, but just at the moment, I cant quite make out what these looked like and I cant find any references to any on the net.

any help will be appreciated....

cheers marc

Yes the R51 is the Big Brother Radiola. The R155 is a console as per this thread.
