This one appeared in local auction, and now I'm looking into data, but can't seam to find any. It is functional, but in bad condition.

It looks like German version of some National/Panasonic, doesn't it?
Can anyone tell which National/Panasonic model would that be?

It has engraved warning in English at the back cover, so it must be related to some famous brand.

Thanks!

I'll see now the auction goes. It requires full restoration. There's a local metalization shop, so I'll check with them first, if they can put new layer of "chrome" on worn out parts. I'd change both dial and door plexiglass, and of course repaint the box, speakers net, but what gives me the headache is laying "chrome" on speakers rim.

It is more like the Telefunken CR100. It is a very nice sounding box and I would make sure I got it if I were you!
Also I'm sure if you were going to go to the trouble of removing the plastic windows to replace them you'd get a lot better result if you just have the originals polished... The time spent trying to make a tuner window would not be worth it!
If it were mine I would just clean it up as best as possible, my Telefunken was soooo filthy, looked a lot worse than that Cobra but it cleaned up beautifully :-)
