  • Notes

  • At last, the day of All-World Radio has arrived, and you can build with your own hands the first receiver to give you not only England and Europe but America and Australia direct. The Lissen All-Wave, All-World Skyscraper 4 tunes from 12 to 2,100 metres.
    It brings two complete new wavelength ranges within reach of the ordinary listener stations and programs which before he was never able to receive, see below the list of these far-distant Short and Ultra ShortWave transmissions that have actually been logged on the Listen All-Wave All-World Skyscraper 4. And remember you get these stations through Double-Balanced Pentode Output giving brilliant reproduction on a Moving Coil Speaker as much power as a Mains Set from ordinary high tension batteries.

    England, Europe, Africa, America, Australia, all on one set at last!

    Lissen have made this All-Wave All-World radio available to Home Constructors first because it brings back the thrill of conquest to hear America and Australia direct on a set you have built yourself, it makes you an enthusiast to realise what a wonderful thing you have created!
     

    And when you see the Great Free Chart of the All -Wave All-World " Skyscraper " 4, which tells you how to build it and how to work it and why it gives such marvelous results, you will agree at once that it will be wise of you to build for yourself rather than buy a factory assembled receiver which cannot give you these new and intriguing short wave stations.

    The FREE CHART simplifies everything; there are pictures of every part, with every wire numbered, every hole lettered, and every terminal identified.

     YOU CAN'T GO WRONG

    But get the Chart and see for yourself-then build the Lissen All-Ways All-World " Skyscraper" 4. the SET THAT SPANS THE WORLD!
