RATIONAL EIGHT RADIO by BRITON
Gives you TRUE AUTO-TUNING...The Stations You Want The Moment You Want Them...
NO MOTOR, NO WEARING PARTS—THUS NO INTERFERENCE WITH RECEPTION.
Below the dial are eight buttons, each clearly marked with the
station callsign. You simply press a button, and there’s your
station. No buzzing—no waiting—no fiddling. Each station is
fixed-tuned to HAIRLINE ACCURACY in the Rational
Laboratory and “reception-tested” for eight hours before the
set is despatched. This automatic tuning is additional to the
usual manual tuning facilities for both Australian and Overseas
Stations.
