R.S.V.P. Radio Gramophone

R.S.V.P Radio Gramophone

An exhibit of greatest interest on this stand is a combined radio & gramophone receiver built into a suitcase of surprisingly small dimensions considering the nature of the apparatus.

 Actually, it is no larger than the average portable gramophone, but of course has a vastly wider field of utility than a gramophone could possibly achieve. For wireless reproduction a five-valve receiver is used, the circuit follows the generally adopted practice in this respect, namely 2 HF stages, a detector, and two LF amplifiers. The lid accommodates a cone loudspeaker and two separate frame aerials, one for normal broadcast wavelengths and the other for the Daventry band.

A 100-volt HT battery and a 2-volt LT accumulator are ingeniously accommodated in the same compartment as the gramophone motor.
For gramophone reproduction the low-frequency side of the receiver only is used, an Igranic pickup being the link between the receiver and the amplifier. Records up to 12” diameter can be played.
