1950's Silvertone 8206 Transistor Radio by Andy Nelson
@saxnot That’s just a three pointed dial ;)
@cypnk really? because it looks /very much/ like Mercedes.
@saxnot Here it is turned. The shape was just a coincidence
@cypnk okay here it is turned. Yet in your other screenshot (where the device was opened) it looked like it was fixed to the front
@cypnk either way, they can have it look like whatever they want.
I aasume this product is so old that M. has no interest in sueing anymore
@saxnot Both the radio and the Mercedes marque were around at the same time. The fixture rotates and is indented, not convex as in the Mercedes logo
@cypnk in what way is this convex?

@saxnot The Mercedes logo protrudes, if that’s a better word, whereas the radio dial is actually bent inward (concave?)
@saxnot From another angle. Here, you can see that the star shape is actually indented
@cypnk why the mercedes logo?
