RADO or NOT?

[watch carefully]

OK, time for a new instalment of Rado or Not?

Here's a doctored image, with identifying marks covered (or are they?) for your perusal.
I'll post the real thing later and we'll see who correctly identified the brand/model, if anyone can...

ant that a scarabeo 70's funk if ever I saw it

Too much of it doesn't look Rado. I can't decide what that means but I'll say not.

There are aspects of it that do look Rado but it's certainly not one that I've ever seen so, I'll say no. Good to see you Brad, how's things?

Hey! Things are good...I'm off tomorrow to visit my daughter in Tennessee for her 21st birthday (a big deal in our backward land).
Hope all is well in OZ and you're not experiencing dreadful rainfall and flooding like some of my colleagues.

scarabeo 70's funk

We have a winner!

It certainly looks a lot like some Rados and might have fooled this crowd 10-15 years ago, but our collective knowledge and understanding of Rado designs made it clear to the initiated that this is probably NOT a Rado.

A very happy 21st to your daughter Brad, it's still a big deal here too. We haven't experienced the same flooding as some parts of Sydney and the north coast but, I still managed to have my engine stop in the middle of a flooded road a couple of weeks back. Luckily a passer by with a 4wd towed me out and after about 4hrs work on the engine I was able to coax it back into life, actually, it's maybe running better than before as lots of soot and carbon burped out of the plug holes along with the water. Hell of a way to clean out your engine though, I don't recommend it.
