• Notes

• Similar to earlier 1949 Model K, 1950 Model T,  1953 Sky Queen and later Sky King Chassis. But DAF96 and DF96 reversed position compared to Sky Queen and extra pair of adjustable loading coils for MW and LW to tune the LF end of the Loop aerial. Uses B136 (250+ hours) or larger "super capacity" B137 (500+ hours)

  Replaced the  Model T which is a similar cabinet (though clock style tuning not linear scale) which used the Model K style chassis. Since later Model T used DK92 and DL94 the chassis wiring may be very similar. The chassis and circuit is almost identical to the last Model T (1953) which uses the same valves. The Sky Lord has a totally identical chassis in a smaller cabinet, sold till 1962.
