The ITT 1969 catalogue lists the Teddy 4 on page 5, mentioning that 4 here means four bands. So I was a bit disappointed to see that my radio has less than 100 bands. Short wave covers just the 49m band, which makes this radio very convenient for trips through Europe.

The photo's at Rmorg show a chassis, just contained in the front plus top panels. Indeed, after removing the three bottom bolts and the two bolts under the carrying handle, with some wriggling I could remove this entire assembly from the cabinet. The trick is that front plus top turn around the edge formed by the top and back panels. After opening the cabinet, the volume pot screw is still pretty unreachable, because it is covered by the end of the ferrite antenna. I could just barely reach the screw with the tip of a driver, but not turn it. I managed to tighten the screw by fixing the screw while counterrotating the volume control.
