Summary:

Reynolds Universal Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
410 Dudley Road, Edgbaston, Birmingham, 16

From 1947 to 1950, Edgbaston's Reynolds Universal Manufacturing Co., Ltd. crafted high-end radios, radiograms, and amplifiers. Notably, their radios boasted a generous 8-valve design, while radiograms upped the ante to a luxurious 16 valves. This commitment to quality extended beyond their borders, with exports offered to India, South Africa, and Australia. [1]

Unfortunately, despite its international reach and focus on premium products, the company faced financial challenges and entered liquidation in December 1950. [2]
