- Notes
-
The power of this low-priced 5-valve Dual Wave H.M.V, is truly amazing. But power isn't all... It has tone that's rich and resonant. It has selectivity that makes it "a one station at a time" set, and the cabinet of walnut is beautiful and well-finished. Short wave frequency covers l6 to 50 metres, and broadcast from 550 to l,600 kilo cycles. Additional features include the easiest tuning dial of all-the Sun-ray dial, which simplifes tuning to a marked degree.
Manufactured by RCA, New York. See US version RCA 85T1.
