I don't know the model number, but sometimes can identify the chassis by tube complement and layout. If you'll tell me what tubes are in it, I'll look in my Rider schematic collection and see if I can find it.Your radio looks really nice. You can replace the torn grille cloth with material from Antique Radio Supply. That would make it perfect in appearance. Looks like a shortwave radio. What bands can it receive? Does it work?

Thank you.
I tested just a bit using a 1.5m wire antenna and it works well.
I think this model is good for shortwave due to the history of the radio.
It is interesting.
The first owners, was my 90 years old friend mother.
She chose this one, because during some radios performance demonstration in her home, the radio catches a station from Portugal. We live in Brazil and the woman was (She dies) Portuguese.
She likes it because it tunes a Portuguese station in Brazil.
I really want to know the model.
There is a 1941 American model looks similar but it makes no sense for me.
My friend told me it is a 78 years old radio made in Netherlands.
So, if he was o boy when his mother brought the radio, and he is a 90 y old, it seems that the 78y old radio information is real.
I didn't make a full restoration. I simply used a bit of fine sandpaper and wax and some small fixing.
Speaker and grille are original, unfortunately two knobs not.
It looks pretty well.
If anybody has more information about this model, please let me know.
