Cabinet is a bit odd. As mentioned, solid wood, no veneer. Supporting the 'factory built' argument would be the slots milled in the wood for the speaker opening, and the joints for joining the wood together. OTOH, the sides were slabs of wood (but not ONE slab) which are now separating from each other. Looks like something a total amateur would have done.

Tele-tone was one that survived. They were unheard of pre-war. Another was John Meck Industries.
If you look at the Sams or Riders indexes, you'll see a lot of models that were made, that were covered in the early folders and manuals, that no longer existed in the early 50's.  |
First thing I did was look for Senak in my SAMS index. Zilch, Zero, Nada....
I don't have the Riders manuals so can't speak for those. The fact that I could only find one link on the internet is somewhat telling.....
