austral-ge: Hotpoint-Bandmaster Model B64ME never had a speaker grill

The notes below the image showing a Hotpoint B64ME state the example shown is missing what has been called the speaker escutcheon.

The B64ME never had a speaker grille. Only Model C64ME had one.

The image below showing the B64ME is actually in its original condition.

Also an incorrect image belonging to Hotpoint Model C64ME has been uploaded to the same Hotpoint B64ME page.

See below.

The differences between the two models can be clearly seen. Note the edging around the base of C64ME.

 

 

Another error found on this page is the linking of this model to the HRSA Radio Waves, April 2016, article titled Restoration: Hotpoint Bandmaster B64ME.

The radio that is the subject of the article is actually a C64ME or C64MEY.

The author of the article does however acknowledge that the radio "is probably a B64ME or C64ME"
