\"Mullard-Tube-Radio-Bakelite-1\"Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> reader, Monti, who knows that I have a serious<\/em> affinity\u00a0for 1940s era receivers.\u00a0Monti writes from his home in Australia:<\/p>\n

I had to send you this link Thomas. I’ve never seen this model before but what a stunning shape for a 40’s piece.<\/p>\n

Look at this on eBay:
\nMullard Meteor 600A Vintage Art Deco Bakelite Valve Radio c.1947<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lovely! While I could never pay $485.00 AUD for a non-working radio, I can certainly appreciate this gorgeous\u00a0<\/em>and unique\u00a0design with radiating\u00a0speaker grill louvres.<\/p>\n

Check out this beautiful “meteor” dial:<\/p>\n

\"Mullard-Tube-Radio-Bakelite-2\"<\/p>\n

What a stunning<\/em> radio!<\/p>\n

Here are a few more pics I snatched from the eBay listing:<\/p>\n
