Maker (Probable)
Dr K McTaggart, Hawthorn East, Greater Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 1935-1945
A card belonging to Dr. McTaggart has a handwritten list of power connections, which match the power leads of this radio. The radio appears to have been made from 1920s components, but is likely to have been built in the late 1930s or early 1940s. -
