    What a beauty! From the woman's clothing in the illustration, it appears to be from the early - mid 1930s.

    Gorgeous double burner Klas, one of the best cooking domestics to be found. My goodness, it's amazing such things in near-perfect unused condition, with box/instructions are still out there. Well done bringing her back to running condition as well (+ nice set of pictures!).

    I have been looking for 1 burner of that stoves, rather than 2 burners.

    Could any Swedish friends help me find one to buy?

    Hello klasse, what a fantastic score well done there.
    The Radius 12 range is a real beauty, a real gem of a stove of the highest quality, the plaited tanks and engraving as well as the design of the tanks really show what a good quality stove Radius made.
    I really like the cream enamelling and the enamelled logo badge, well done there

    Hello Klasse

    Beautiful range.
    I see your paperwork is very similar to that of the 1949 catalogue, already on CCS.

    I would disagree with Ulysses comment "it appears to be from the early - mid 1930s", for several reasons :
    The early to mid 30's spindles are of a solid steel, not hollow as in yours.
    The earlier ranges, had 4 fixed pot rests, yours has removeable trivets, with retaining clip - as shown in the 1950's catalogue, but not in the 1949.
    The filler cap pressure release valve are also very different on the 1930's model to yours.
    The earlier tanks did not have a fuel gauge on them.
    You have also got the crossed nurling on the pump cap.
    I am interested in what date it is, but it is not as Ulysses says.

    Hi all and thank´s!

    Neither I think it´s from 1930s.

    In Radius catalogue from 1950 they mention that 12AF replace 12E. I would guess on 1950-60. In the end logo on tank is changed.

    Not realy sure about difference between E and AF? Knobs on control handle is one.

    Hello, Klasse. Do you still have this instruction manual? Are you willing to make a better scan or pictures? I have just restored a wonderful Radius 12 and would love to have the instruction more readable. Thank you!
