Erres Radio from Indonesia (Algemeen)

I was most interested to come across this forum.

I have been living in Surabaya for 20 years and I collect valve radios which I buy locally. As you will know, most sets here in Indonesia are Philips, Erres or NSF.

A few days ago I bought a nice little ERRES five valve set model no. KY 449 in good working order. Although I can find numerous references to other models with the KY number on the Internet I can not come across anything of this particular model.

I have taken some photos of the set if anyone would like to see them.

What I would be interested to know is the year of manufacture and whether or not the set was made in Indonesia or in the Netherlands. It would also be great to get a circuit drawing.

Any information members of this forum could provide me with would be gratefully received.

Another question: I am surprised that all the ERRES sets I have found here only have the SW band. Wasn't there any MW broadcasting in the 1940s and 1950s here?

If you are unable to help me with my enquiries perhaps you would be so kind as to refer me to any other sources of information.

Thank you so much
