Hello,

It happens that I have not a clue about the brand of the set as per pictures enclosed.

After checking carefully could not obtain any information that could lead me to the brand or manufacturer.

The only help is that some parts are Lemco brand.

Can anyone identify this radio?

Thanks for the help.

Most likely, it is a british radio. Judging from the component types used and the finish of the zinc plated steel parts, there are chances that it is manufactured by BRC, and possibly sold under brands like Ferguson, Thorn, Ultra etc.

Is there any readable marking on the FM tuner unit or on the loudspeaker? Could you provide a photo of the solder side of the main PCB?

Hello Torbjörn Forsman,

Thanks for your post and interest with this issue.

I made some more detailed inspection on this set and found that the coils are Oreor and the variable condenser engraved with a round mark on each corner the following ; Upper left "Made in France" lower right "Arena" .

So its seems is a set made in France, is it by by Arena? and Model?

Thanks once again and let me know about yor thoughts.

Kind regards.

...it could be a french radio.

As the PCB is hand soldered, the radio is likely manufactured by a small company with a so small production that it could not keep a wave soldering machine busy. Also, details of the dial cord mechanism seem to be from a small series or prototype production.

If it had been manufactured by BRC as i first assumed, there would have been a red solder mask on the PCB solder side, and it would have been wave soldered, not hand soldered.
