  • Canterbury 8 Valve All-Wave Radio

    We present for the listening public this stylish mantel 8-valve all-wave radio which is truly a leader in the “big model” radio range. Housed in a cabinet of figured walnut veneer that is designed in the true HMV fashion, the Canterbury model has a general appeal colour toning that will enhance any surroundings that it is placed in. A full vision curser dial makes station finding extremely easy to even the novice and the incorporated tonal range indicator aids the user to select any tone that may be required. A special feature of the Canterbury is the covering of the Amateur Bands which will prove of interest to listeners as the popularity of DXing is gaining daily in New Zealand.
