My parents owned an identical Ultra Tiger from new (1931). It lasted until the 1950s.
I recall the old medium wave station markings, LN, NN, SN, DN etc, meaning London National, North National, Scottish National & Droitwich National. On the outbreak of World War II all these became the Home Service and its regions, Droitwich becoming The Light Programme. In 1967 became Radio 4 and Radio 2. Different frequencies (wavelengths) of course A lovely old radio was The Ultra Tiger!
old WW2 stations still running? oh, try tuning to russian stations like the UBV-76, a notorious buzzer radio but on rare occasions, it broadcasts russian command codes and some other jibberish due to the distortion of the mic static
