Modified Austrian Prewar Radio

[sean]

Josef,

That is a beautiful radio and you did a great job incorporating the FM tuner. What brand is your radio? I can't make it out in your photos. Does it receive shortwave?

I have a 1940 Hornyphon W455X "Potentat" that was made in Austria. I think it is one of the best looking radios in my collection. Below is a photo of it before I restored it. It is an excellent performer and has some features that are not typically found on American made radios of the same period (switchable selectivity, vernier tuning with separate logging scale).
