  By this time Ekco is part of Pye so see similar or near identical models all using Metal Rectifier. The older Rimlock versions use a UY41 instead.

  • Pye 1101A (the  1101 is older Rimlock B8A version)
  • Ekco Mariner U834 and Pye Seafarer 1112
  • Pye 3017A (the 3017 is older Rimlock B8A version)
  • Pye 3042

  There are probably other similar models with parallel heaters and isolated/earthed chassis.

  There are many Pye models from 1946 to early 1960s with 3 to 9 Bandspread Shortwave.
