  • Notes

  • Imagine a Radio Combination that not only gives you exceptionally fine performance with world-wide reception — record reproduction with the latest electrical pickup and automatic start and slop motor built in addition — reproduces either Radio or Record reproduction on the extension Speaker.

    You will find dozens of applications for this new fascinating "Skyway" all-purpose Radio.

    There's no question of the extra ordinary value being offered: —

    A Dual-Wave, 5-Valve "Skyway" Combination with Extension Speaker and Private Telephone, all in one unit for 23 guineas.
