Beautiful Vintage HMV Radio

 

Fabulous deep maroon colour in good condition for its age, although there is some damage on the back where the power cord emerges. See photo.

This can't be seen from the front, and doesn't detract from the overall appearance of the radio.

It has the famous HMV dog on the front, and it still works quite well.  When turned on it lights up and once it warms up it receives radio signals clearly.

I half expected to hear Glen MIller.

Radio bands (am only) cover NSW, QLD, VIC, SA, WA, and TAS.

 

Dimensions:

Height: 23cm

Width: 29cm

Depth: at base - 12.5cm   including knobs - 14cm

 

Postage costs depend on your location, so please email your postcode, and I'll calculate the postage.
