Production: 1937 - 1949

Kingsley Radio Pty. Ltd. was formed by a takeover in August 1937 of Kingsley Teleradio Constructions with Howard Kingsley Love as a director.[3]

The company manufactured Kingsley radios and radio parts, including coils, tuning units and, for a short time, speakers. They developed an application of ferrite particles to RF circuits, leading to the kingsley “Ferroclad” & “Ferrotune” technology. They are best known for their production, during WWII, of the KCR-11 (AR7) communications receiver.

During World War Two they moved from Spring Street, Melbourne to a larger factory at St. Kilda Road, Melbourne, opposite the Shrine of Remembrance. After the war, another factory was opened in Petersham, Sydney due to the majority of Australia's electronics industry being in Sydney.[4]

Sadly, in 1948 Howard Love died from heart failure due to overwork and stress. Shortly after, Kingsley Radio was closed down in 1949.[5]

The premises at 380 St. Kilda Road were initially taken over by Aegis Manufacturing Company and A & R Electronics (transformers) and in July 1950 by J. H. Magrath & Co. Pty. Ltd. as a car radio installation and service station.[6][7]
