  • Notes

  • This console features an Art Deco speaker grille in silver painted carved wood, signed by "G. VDM". It has space for a record player in the top section, which apparently was not originally equipped, or removed later.

    The radio chassis was made by Manesse, but we are currently not certain if the whole cabinet was built or offered by them, or if some other company used a Manesse chassis in their product.

    For now we list this console under this manufacturer until we know more.

    See also this model with a TRF chassis and no SW reception.
