    In an effort to clear their inventory of obsolete stock Marconiphone released some 15000 crystal sets in Nov.1925 to J.M.Millet & Sons. The Marconophine Junior was resold as Millet Junior. The sets got a circular red label over the Marconiphone lettering on the lid. BBC and GPO seals were kept.
