Unknown Radios

? Unknown Sets ? 

 


 
The sets which we are showing you here are of unknown origin and manufacturer. Perhaps one of our collector friends will have some additional details that will help in identifying these sets.

If you have information about any of them please forward it to me at:

In case you have a unit which you would like to identify please send the data that you do have to me with accompanying pictures. If possible one picture should show the inside of it. We will enter it on this page in the hope that somebody will recognize it.

Here I have a unit with Loewe Dial Face and Speaker Front (Loewe SBR ?)
Unfortunately to date it has been impossible to correctly identify it. Even research in Belgium was without success. From there has come the suggestion that this may be a hobbyist's assembly but I am not leaning towards that assumption. Several details point towards the manufacturer SBR. The following pictures intend to strengthen that assumption since SBR have built units under licence for others. I have seen several models built under licence such as for Telefunken.
Here now are some pictures

 

 
The Knobs are the first Proof
 
 
 
 
Following now are two pictures sent to us by the SBR collector in Belgium.
 
Here, the outer casing is not the same, however for the construction of the chassis unit undoubtedly the same piece parts have been used. Some components from this set are obviously missing since the collector used them for spare parts. The wooden outer case had been worm-infested.
 
Here is another photo that shows the outer case to be very similar to mine.
 
 
The following four pictures show that my set is not the only one with a typical Loewe Dial Face.
These pictures came to me by mail about a year ago.
 
 
 
Unfortunately these pictures are not of very good quality since I had to print and re-scan them. Just as with my set - the one under discussion - the dial face and the loud speaker here both carry the Loewe trademark. Also visible is the sticker of the SBR licence.
 
Should you come across a set like this please let me know.
