I have been contacted by Pauline MacLean at the Highland Village Museum in Nova Scotia (https://www.facebook.com/highlandvillagemuseum/) – contact details below, her email is: Pauline.MacLean at novascotia dot ca, phone: (902) 725-2272.

Pauline wrote: “What I am looking for is to approximate what maker [of the set is] so we can see what knobs and dial we need to get [see attached photos]. We plan on using a Bluetooth device in the exhibit to play music.”

Although typical of an early-1930’s design, I have no idea which model this cabinet belongs to do you? – are you able to help her out?

I wouldn’t rule out a Marconi. I had one that looked a lot like this one.
