Both versions are commonly seen (well, as common as these get, anyway). There were two different chassis versions (mainly due to a change to CL6 output valve instead of CL4, I believe), and I'm almost sure that the default stations were reconsidered at that time. You can check if yours is the early version with the CL4 output valve. The one on my

Nice view of the innards. Martin

The mains power comes in through a plug mounted to the rear cover so will automatically be disconnected when the rear cover is removed. That does not mean that the chassis is safe to touch though. I will not go in to the same degree of detail as I have done previously on this subject but merely repeat that servicing a valve set like this can be a risky

Let's take a look inside; The rear cover is held to the cabinet with two clips. No screws and no tools. Martin

Den kan naturligvis være OK men pas generelt rigtigt godt på ved henvendelser som denne. De spørger ofte hvilke systemer, du ejer og hvornår du har købt dem plus en masse andet om dit hus, hobbies, musiksmag, husstands-indkomst osv.

The Master 39K was the second-largest table model of the year 1939, the Master Deluxe 39K being top of the range, not counting floor-standing models and radiograms. The models of the same year also included the famous Beolit 39 of which I had the pleasure of fiddling with one just two years

Everything looks wonderfully original, - well, there is one thing; A socket at the bottom left corner of the rear cover is not original. It's labeled "Telefon" (telephone), which puzzles me a bit. I'm sure the explanation is to be found inside. The label is held to the rear cover by two rivets, cleverly mounted using two existing ventilation

At the backside, three service stickers reveal that this radio has indeed seen use as it was serviced by the same repairshop in 1950, 1953 and 1956. A repairshop in Slangerup, not very far from where I live and where the radio was auctioned. So this radio was definitely cherished, not only while in use but also later. The usual marks of 40+ years of
