  • Model AT4 “Every Room” Set.

    FOR THE WOMENFOLK IN THEIR SUNROOMS .... interesting talks on fashions .... cooking .... health, etc light entertaining music .... or a concert from the Town HaII—WHILE KNITTING THAT NEW JUMPER.

    FOR THE MENFOLK IN THEIR DENS .... sporting results, the wrestling .... Cricket Tests .... the form of that "good thing” for Saturday .... and the Stock Exchange Reports—WHlLE SITTING BACK IN THAT COSY ARMCHAIR WITH THE FAVOURITE PIPE GOING NICELY.

    ENTERTAINMENT BY RADIO IN THE HOME for the big family can only be satisfactorily complete by the installation of the "Second" Set, whereby each and every member of the household will hear in comfort and without interruption their choice of the radio programme.

    THEN AGAIN, THE "SECOND" SET being small, neat and compact can easily be carried from one room to another for your entertainment.

    THE CALSTAN MODEL AT4 is a compact, mantel model, consisting of 4 valves. A reflex circuit is employed which gives the performance of a six-valve console. No dial is used. PUSH BUTTON STATION SELECTION is used throughout which means that by MERELY PRESSING A BUTTON THE STATION COMES IN AUTOMATICALLY, without any unpleasant background noises, whistles or howls.

    Eight buttons are available which enable the listener to instantaneously choose any one of the eight Sydney Stations from 2SM to 2FC.

    Tone and volume controls are also provided.
