I had a Nocturn from 1948 which was a well made radio. It had more pilot lights than any set I have ever come across, even with the bulbs under run them being all alight for long was unusual. It had edge light lamps and ones that went on and off with the wavebands. Massively heavy, about 2ft long with the speaker in the roof.
Here is another Schneider that I have pics on the disk for. A better looking radio to me and as you can see they didn't go in for complex back panels. A lot of drilling of 3 mm hardboard though (wear a good face mask !! ).
It should work and sound good so if you like it then worth a restore ... Yours is unusual as it is marked with SW M, LW so they must have had export in mind.
