• Identical appearance to Pye Baby Q Senior (Octal 1.4V) which is 2V or 1.4V LT and to slightly later Pye New Baby Q All Dry (Edge type and later Octal). Replaces earlier TRF Portable Baby Q.

  Embossed Pye Sunrise logo between lid and speaker. Badge on underside of cover which has a magnetic catch.

  There are two post WWII All dry New Baby Q model of a different appearance. New Baby Q L75B (Octal) and New Baby Q 79B (B7G)

  Push pull output and turntable base. The only similar circuit (but different) is the Pye QB3  table models for reference as there is no Trader sheet for this model.

  LT 2V Though an Exide JSP2 lead Acid is in a example, probably a larger capacity cell fits.

  HT 90V probably Ever Ready Portable 61 = Vidor L5039 (perfect fit) as no 120V pack fits.

  January 1939 release. Replaced in 1940 by 1.4V tube versions. Price included batteries.
