  • Notes

  • Pacific 6 Valve Dual Wave superhet with RF stage receiver was manufactured for Pacific Radio Company Ltd by Radio Corporation of New Zealand Ltd.

    In late 1934 the new 1935 range was released by Pacific Radio Co.  It consisted of several chassis models which were all quite similar to their Courtenay counterparts although, unlike the Courtenay, Pacific displayed no model code on the chassis making them difficult to identify.  Generally, they used a label on the inside of the cabinet describing the chassis - the most common being the 6 Valve Dual Wave.

    The 1935 range can be identified by the dial, the first aero (round) dial in the Pacific lineup - previous models having either used a peephole or arc dial.  The 1935 dial is monochromatic - black on yellow celluloid with a plain escutcheon common to the Courtenay models as well. It can be differentiated from the following (1936) year dial which was similar, but it used red for the planet and had a custom Pacific-branded escutcheon.
