• Notes

• PYE MR-1 "Ranchero" Mantel

  Strikingly styled in a cabinet of very compact dimensions, the PYE "Ranchero" Mantel Model Radio provides outstanding radio reception. Great rigidity and tonal depth is derived from the solid cast-metal front frame, while the incorporation of a printed circuit assures years of reliable operation. High quality reproduction of records is possible through the use of a record player connected to the specially provided terminals. The white front grille is attractively trimmed with chromed fittings, and an all-States 'hairline' tuning dial.

  In charcoal grey, dove grey or coral red. (MINGAY'S PRICE SERVICE)
