A rare and highly collectible ACEC T.5004 valve radio, manufactured in Belgium in 1958 by Ateliers de Constructions Électriques de Charleroi (ACEC). With its elegant cream front, contrasting blue-grey cabinet, brass accents and distinctive geometric styling, this model perfectly captures the optimistic Mid-Century Modern design of the late 1950s. From the Collection of a Radio Store Owner, this beautifully preserved example has been tested and is in good working condition. It retains its original chassis, dial glass, knobs, loudspeaker, ferrite antenna and Miniwatt valve set. Reception is good across the available wavebands, and all controls operate as intended. ACEC was one of Belgium's most respected electrical manufacturers, producing radios renowned for their engineering quality and refined styling. Models such as the T.5004 are considerably rarer than comparable Philips or Grundig radios, making them highly desirable among collectors of European vintage electronics. The cabinet presents exceptionally well with only minor signs of age, while the original chassis remains complete and remarkably well preserved.
