• Notes

• The Courtenay model 5M is part of the 'RCNZ Model 5' series. The model 5M was an updated version of the model 5, using all miniature valves.  The tuning arrangement was also modified to give a better spread of the cluttered upper frequencies.

  The first model 5's appeared in 1949 (although the model is widely accepted as being released for the 1950 range), and lasted for around 4-5 years with various changes along the way.  The first model used a mix of miniature and octal valves, but subsequent models used all miniatures.  Externally they all looked much the same aside from the model 5B which had a slightly wider dial scale, and a slightly narrower speaker grill to maintain the correct width for the model 5's cabinet.
