  • EKCO "CANEWDON"

    This latest addition to the Ekco range is a Powerful 5-valve broadcast receiver in a highly polished, rich, mahogany veneer cabinet with contrasting honey shade, speaker, and dial surround. This surround has a slightly convex curvature adding a smooth, sweeping line to a most attractive model.

    Selected grill cloth blends harmoniously with the large, colourful dial and handsome, gold-rimmed knobs, centrally located for ease of control. Station and control markings are boldly distinctive and in addition are floodlit to facilitate selection. A radiogram switch is also incorporated with provision for the connection of a gram unit to the rear of the chassis if so desired.

    Reproduction from the latest Rolla 5-7 speaker covers a full tonal range and adds greatly to the overall quality of this most impressive mantel receiver. Cabinet Dimensions 17¾" wide, 11" high, 7½" deep.

    Manufactured by ULTIMATE-EKCO (NZ) Co. LTD. Quay Street Auckland.
