This
is what you went to the beach with, besides girlfriend, dog and picnic
basket. Dog is not-done anymore.
Measurements: 29 x 20,5 x 11 cm
Weight: 2,6 kg without batteries!
That's why you needed the girlfriend!
The radio still works, when connected to a power supply as batteries
are no longer available.
When opening the cover, a distinctive formaldehyde smell is presented.
This particular, addictive smell is why people as myself collect old
radio's. In order to preserve the smell also, I keep the radio in an
airtight plastic bag (!) |

Imprinted
label on top. Ever seen blue crocodiles? Very rare! That's why these old
radio's are so very valuable. |

In
the lid an aerial was fitted, you can see the cable, coming out of the
battery compartment.
In the upper left corner of the radio frame, the on/off switch is
located (left, next to the rivet). Closing the lid turns off the radio.
Three knobs:
- Volume control without on/off switch
- Band switch
- Tuning dial with delay

Nice,
these named scales. On top: long wave stations. Because this radio was
made for the British home-market, the long and medium wave scales
mainly mention home stations: (BBC-) Light Program, Midlands, Welsh,
(BBC-) Third Program, a.s.o.

filament battery and a 90 Volt Anode battery. |
