  • PYE Model 79RG

    This model is right up in the top class for performance and eye appeal, and £97 10s. is not a high price to pay for a model of this quality.

    The 79 RG is a six-valve, eight-wave bandspread model equipped with the reliable three-speed Garrard automatic record changer, and is housed in a cabinet of highly polished walnut.

    To make for easier tuning, the 79 RG has a magic eye, and the eight-wave bandspreading covers the 11, 13, 16, 19, 25, and 31-metre bands, the shortwave band (3.4 to 8 megacycles), and the broadcast band (550 to 1600 kc/s.).

    An unusually high standard of reproduction is obtained by a 12 in. loudspeaker capable of wide frequency range. A wide range of tonal reproduction is achieved by the use of tone variations covering "Fidelity," "Brilliant," "Mellow," and "Speech."

    A further refinement incorporated in this model is special frequency compensation for faithful reproductíon of both standard and long-playing recordings.

    The walnut cabinet in contemporary design measures 35 in. wide x 30½ in. high x 17 in. deep.
