  • Greenwood liste The Meepon amongst US-models. That misled to the assumption it is possibly of American manufacture. But being a UK product it bears the GPO No.4043;

    Originally for Broadcast band only, many hade been modified to allow a long wave loading coil to be plugged in. This at the place where No.1 had the BBC stamp (upper left corner)
