  • Stella S1 Portable Radio

    6-Valve plus vibrator, superhet with RF stage, dual wave, dual-use, portable receiver.

    Powered by AC mains or 6v battery. 

    This set has also been seen with the model code Stella 6CV. This is the first year for Stella radios to be manufactured by Collier & Beale Ltd (previously manufactured by Radio Corporation (NZ) Ltd). It is likely the first models used the Collier & Beale 6CV code before reverting back to the traditional Stella S1 code.
