Terra brand model Romeo made in west germany

I have got a mail from Portugal with some pictures of a TERRA model Romeo. The sender, not a Rmorg member, would like to know some info about but this German brand. Could it be a latter name for TERRAPHON?. Pictures are availables in high quality also.

Hello

 

i think, thats from EMUD Ulm Germany  Here:

Your model are an export version, without the FM-Range only MW + SW

our experience shows us, that finding little or no information on export models gives in Germany.

Hello Hans.

Thanks for your info. It is right accurate.

The rear wall seems almost the same and this radio has  (I need to turn back to the high def. pictures to see it !!!), no FM (UKW), just MW and 3 x SW. Could be an export version but has the dial, buttons and rotary in german, then the three buttons in the upper front (speech - orchestra -jazz) and the rear wall in english.  Here is a dial picture.

This is the tube line up as written in the rear wall from right to left:

EL84 (6BQ5), EAA91 (6AL5), EF86 (CV2901) (Z729), EM80 (6BR5)

EF89 (6DA6), ECH81 (6AJ8), EZ80 (6V4)

Hello Miguel.

The front panel with the dial glas,  is already a special feature.

The frequencies in English spelling, the rest in German.
The sound selector, however, again in English.

I employed myself more than 50Jahre with radios, but I have never yet seen something like that.

Good, there were many Germans abroad and there are, however those ones bought also at GRUNDIG, there export types were always in an English manner labeled.

One is, however, secure, in 1960 there was not in Europe any market for radios without VHF but with German lettering. KW-amateurs were the exception, the EMUD was not suitable for that there, however.
Now i have not  a idea what to doo?

What follow is deducted. Just leaving the mind to fly.

The radio could be an export model mainly dedicated to german peoples that after the WWII were to live in South-America where the FM, with its short range, has little utility for those big lands where, still today, the short waves broadcast radios keep comunities in touch among them.

The rear wall has tubes with USA and UK substitution to help to find a replacement in a place where the european tubes will be hardest to get than USA ones.

Even the name TERRA is a portuguese/brasilian word meaning EARTH and Brasil was the preferred land where most German peoples arrived.

Nothing of the above mentioned has to be accepted as true. Just myself giving an history to an unknown radio with no document as back up for.

Regards
