What radio is this?
 
Hi everyone,

Just a very quick question - can anyone identify the radio in the
background on the left of this photograph (the big black one)?

It has a playboy bunny logo above the tuning knob. Wonder if that's
original.

Seems like it was a popular candidate for badgework engineering.

Hello,

My father has the same receiver, but it indicates "soundmaster space
commander", bought in the Netherlands many years ago. The Playboy
bunny doesn't appear in my father's version.

Best regards,

If they used a photo of a playboy bunny instead of the logo they'd have
sold more of them.

It looks like it was made by the same factory that made the National
DR-28/Panasonic RF-2800.

Notice the knobs, and the metal bails on both sides they are the same.
Also look at the printed on switch and control labels the type styles
are the same.
The Seaker cover is the same type as the Panasonics.
The general design of the plastic case is very similar to the RF-2800/
RF-2900.
