  • Advertised from 1934 till 1938. Advertisement from the “Truth”, (NSW), March 4, 1934 states; It is a 5-valve superhet incorporating full automatic volume control and “push-pull” output, with two 41 valves. The latest multiple purpose valves type 6A7 & 6B7 endow the set with a performance equal to a 9-valve set. The full dynamic speaker is fitted as well as a “Pines” B battery rotary eliminator (Magmotor). A neat remote control is provided for fitting to the instrument board or steering column which is indirectly illuminated.
