• This model is electrically identical and physically similar to the Amalgamated Wireless Australia (AWA) model 467MA.

  It appears to be a 'rebadged' model of AWA's. The AWA part numbers are visible on the inside of the cabinet mouldings. The chassis looks like it has been wire brushed where the Hotpoint model number is printed, to remove the AWA model number - See photo.
