Joe,
The layout of the controls and dial look like a P76 or P76F, but the case is different.
Do you have any pictures of the inside?

That's what I was thinking, Alan, but this one only seems to have three wave-bands.

Maitiu says he'll add details of the gubbins himself.

Inside view:-

   

Certainly looks like a P76 variant.

It looks like a P76 variant, but as soon as he tells you the valves we'll know for sure. There were 2 P76 variants in the UK as it is...

Cheers,

That looks to be within striking distance of a P76F except that had a Frame Aerial.

...and Trawler Band.

Close enough for rock 'n' roll though.

In the 50's PYE had a factory in Dundrum Dublin.I think the sets produced there were for the Irish market and although based on UK designs usually had something extra like Trawler band or more SW bands.
