Hi all

I'm obviously not a keen radio enthusiast or anything of the sort, however I do appreciate craftsmanship and technology.

I would like some help identifying what could possibly be a non-existent radio, the one in question actually originates from a video game, one which I would love to hunt down or find something very similar.

I would greatly appreciate your expertise if you wouldn't mind running your eye over this image to let me know if you recognize it at all

Thanks in advance

Dangles.

Looks like a created image.....designer took styling cues from radios & radio/phono sets from the 1955-65 era. Companies, both domestic and foreign made radios that looked much like that image.

This RCA is a somewhat close, among the biggest most powerful hifi radios from the era - 13 tubes, push-pull output, 3 speakers. Love to have one of these myself.

I used Irfanview to quickly adjust the colors in your image.
This appears to be an artist's sketch, not an actual photograph.
Hope this helps,

Too bad, it could have been a very interesting set!

Thanks a lot guys! I Really appreciate having you save me going on a wild goose chase to find this thing.

It really is too bad it's an artist's impression, it's a very nice, simple set.
