I have in my possession an Ace Radio A50 but mine was made to special order by a department store. It is electrically almost identical to the A50 radio but has physical differences. The tuning scale is different with a different logo. The speaker grille and decoration is the same style as the later model A51 but the control layout is A50. The radio itself has no manufacturer information or identifying plates except for the branding of the store. 

Would this be classed as a sub model and require its own page under the store brand or would my information be added to the existing page? I understand that the brand Jonell is not a manufacturer but it is an in house brand of a department store that is still in business today, John Lewis.

What is the correct ettiquet for this radio? I am in the process of restoring the set and have a large collection of high resolution images for it as it was without any modifications, especially the chassis and components. Once I have completed the work I will have some full images of the finished set as well as probably several hours of video of the work in progress. 

I would love for this to be a useful contribution to the site but do not wish to upset anyone by just blindly creating pages without consideration. Please advise me as to the best way to proceed.

 

Many Thanks in advance,

George Christofi
