TASMA (Thom & Smith Radio Company) was a Sydney radio manufacturer that produced this beautiful 1938 bakelite set, the model 505.
This was a very well-made radio, with even a separate glass covering the glass inner dial.
This 500-600 series continued until the end of 1940, with some variations, including different knobs and a different design around the knobs.
They included a top speaker cloth with a silk screened cabin scene.
This feature and the beautiful large dial make it very popular with collectors and is quite rare.
This example's dial didn't survive the journey to the US. But, I discovered the Aussie radio collectors are so friendly and helpful,
and they found me an exact reproduction glass dial in short time!
