6 valve dual wave superhet with RF stage mantel model receiver. Also available as a table radiogram.
This model uses wooden knobs with the Columbus ship pressed into them that RCNZ must have made specifically for the model 62, as they do not appear on any other known models. The two inner knobs have scalloped sides - one is for the band switch so this would provide better purchase for switching, the other is for tuning and wouldn't have required the scalloping so it may have just been done for symmetry.
