-
Compact 2 band radio. 2 Octal sockets on rear, one is for optional battery vibrator power unit, the other connects to a control box that the radio sits on. This box selects upto 4 intercom sub stations via seperate 3 core cable. The set was advertised in Argentina & has been found in Australia.
The valve line up suggests a circuit similar to the Ferguson 203U.
The radio could be used "standalone", or used as a car radio with optional vibrator unit, or as the heart of an intercom system (see other products for this manufacturer).
The cabinet could be burgundy or cream.
