  • Uses Ferrite rod aerial (rather than wire loop frame aerial common on portables till late 1950s) in a table top / transportable style moulded case.

    Batteries are AD38 LT and B126 HT or equivalent (about 70 to 90 hours operation).

    See also the Marconiphone T73DAB Attaché style cabinet with lid using ferrite rod aerial instead of wire loop frame aerial using almost identical chassis. Trader 1961 index actually lists the T73DAB sheet for this model.

    Chassis can be live when on mains power.
