Berec Pioneer Radio - New and improved version of the "Saucepan Special"
4-valve superhet receiver. All components are tropicalised. Colour: Blue
and Black. Cabinet: Stout metal cabinet with tight fitting back, specially finished
for tropical conditions. Wave Ranges: Three types - "A", "B", "C" short
and medium wave. Type "D" two short.
Berec Batrymax B103 battery not accomodated within the cabinet.The exact same entry is in the 1956 Radio Show catalogue but the 1954 Catalogue has the two BEREC Saucepan models (J-A3F SW and J-A4F MW+ SW) but no Pioneer. Gladstone Radio is mentioned in Radio! Radio! as source of Pioneer Kits (1959 or 1960?), but Gladstone was a surplus equipment dealer, often of "remaindered" and bankrupt stock. There was even later an FM radio offered in the Pioneer case by Gladstone Radio.
The last versions of Saucepan Radio were exhibited in 1954 at the UK Radio Show. In the Unesco Courier September 1959 Peter Fraenkel of CABS states "The original Saucepan Special has been replaced by a new model of a different shape". Though the article published date is 1959, it was probably written in 1955-56, as suggested by Radio Show catalogue. As Supersonic Radio in Bulawayo had started production before 1958, possibly 1955 and transistor sets quickly replacing valve models 1958-59 the BEREC Pioneer would have been very late to market if released in 1959.
