No, I do NOT own such a radio. But I found it intresting since I did see one in a expo about Radio Romania (might been 1998, because then there where 60 years of Radio Romania). I think is the only kind of radio with that kind of dial.
There where more models of it, some with only 4 tubes, some with more tubes. I've seen on the internet one that didn't had the dial in German (b.t.w., "Ingelen" was an Austrian company).

Nice restoration video :thmbsp:
And yes, Ingelen was a well known Austrian brand. They sold very good sounding and also receiving radios.
Never the less the 1939 version of the Geographic was heavily influenced by German design.
As an Austrian collector I prefer the older model:

Another interesting Ingelen radio is this one, which I own:

Ha, a radio with clock. I've seen on the internet a Soviet one I think.
But do you own an "Ingelen" Geographic. I wish me one. The models with more tubes, because I confess that more tubes for me = a better reciving qualty.

The interesting point of the clock is that it is fully mechanical buit. So you have to wind it up from the radios back side :screwy:

No, unfortunately I have no Geographic in my collection.
