- Notes
-
6-valve superhet with RF stage dual wave receiver.
IF 256 kc/s but it was necessary to alter this to 285 kc/s in Wellington and Dunedin due to the effect of two powerful stations producing a beat equal to the 256 IF causing an apparent lack of sensitivity.
Appeared in 2 table cabinet styles and also available as a console model.
Manufactured by Radio Corporation Of New Zealand Ltd using Philips valves.
