McMichael in that era (1937 to 1950) worst for scales that faded.
Indication of
2V valves ( spades, flying leads for HT)
Combo or separate HT and 1.5V packs (single plug, often same as B4 valve pins with LT either side of long axis, vs two plugs)
Side or end tuning of IFTs, if core. Or if fixed coils and trimmer caps.
Rotating pointer or wire cursor. If pointer, does it go same way (slot friction drive or cord) as tuning knob or opposite (external friction drive).
Any logos? Horse = Invicta, Sunburst = Pye, sailor's head & hat = Pilot, V = Vidor
Single or dual loops for aerials?
Wavebands? 1 (no knob), 2 (toggle or knob?), 3 (knob). The SW as well as LW & MW is rare.
Scale & knobs on top or on front with speaker?
Rough size of speaker and cabinet.
Size of empty battery space. Any black burns on inside bottom (means 2V lead acid leaked).
Make and models of the four valves (five would be unusual on UK battery only set of that era)
