  • Notes

  • Offensichtlich ein Einzelstück aus Teilen unterschiedlichster Provenienz.
    Unbekanntes Gehäuse. Chassis älter (Topfsockel), aber UY85 nicht vor 1954/55.
    Rückwand nicht professionell (Lochung unregelmässig, Beschriftung völlig uneinheitlich).

    Bastelgerät?

    Apparently a unique radio specimen with parts of different origins.
    Unknown cabinet, european (Philips) style, older chassis with side contact tubes (mid 30s?), but UY85 no earlier than 1954/55.
    The rear panel does not look professionally made (hole cuts are irregularly aligned, faded print for antenna/pickup, otherwise prints too crisp and do not match or fit).

    Home-brew?
