  • Notes

  • Kriesler Triplex Battery/Electric Portable.

    This completely new radio has the "go everywhere" convenience of the finest portable - the handsome looks of an expensive mantel set - and it's the ideal radio for the car, too. It's three sets in one. It has an ultra-modern "luxury look" cabinet, with its smart gold trim and gleaming two-tone colour styling. The ingenious "auto-strap" carrying handle blends into contours of the set when not in use and gives it that sleek, streamlined look. "Rotozone" dial - 24" square in area - gives easy tuning, rotates to find the State or station. (FROM MINGAY'S PRICE SERVICE)

    Colours available in charcoal/pink, burgundy/ivory, tan/ivory.

    Battery types: Eveready 276P and 495 or equivalent.
