Its about 1949, and a basic model. From around this time, many German sets started to include vhf-fm. Nice clean set!

Thanks folks, she is a beauty for sure. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it as I am unable to restore it myself. I love the look of it though and after a good cleaning it will look even better.

Although no technical specialist, here is a rough translation of the text on the rear panel:

Upper right, next to tube diagram: "Beleuchtungslampe" (Illuminating lamps)
18 V 0.1 A.

-- "Sicherung" (Fuse) 0.5 A

Antenna - ("Erde" -- earth or ground)

"Gleich - und Wechselstrom" (DC - and AC) 110 V/ 125 V; 220 V : appears to be a two position radial switch below this script.

"Tonabnehmer" (Sound pickup) 2. "Lautsprecher" (Speakers)

"Nuer fuer Tonabnehmer nach VDE Bestimmungen" (Only for sound pickups which meet standards set by the the Association of German Electricians)

"Nuer fuer Lautsprecher nach VDE Bestimmungen" (only...speakers meeting...Electricians)

Switch at bottom right: Sound Pickup
"Aus" Off

"Ein" On

"Vor Naesse Schuetzen!" (Keep unit dry -- literally: Protect or keep away from wetness)

"Vor der Abnehmen der Rueckwand Netzstecker ausziehen." (Pull the plug before removing the rear cover)
