200 - 2000 looks to me as MW = Medium Wave band.
That was in the early times the most common radio wave band on car radios as I
can remember. (I'm from 54)

Your pushbutton model appears to be a luxury model.
Ecko radios appear to be a typical English marketed product. Unknown in the
Netherlands.
Hope you can find someone who can help.

(Oops. Should not have had someones name on it)
My friend has an early 60's right hand drive MG 4 door sedan. It has a radio
in it, but only the light comes on. no sound, static, or anything.
It looks like itâ??s an Ekco Type 1901. It power unit is separate from the
radio head. Iâ??m guessing the speaker connects to the power unit?
I donâ??t think itâ??s an AM radio. The frequency dial runs from 200-2000. I
did happen to find a website that shows itâ??s a radio that was new in 1961.
Only 31 pounds!

did the UK have a different set of bandwidths than the US?
