  • Notes

  • 6-Valve superhet with RF stage dual wave table chest model receiver with Light-ray (Teleflick) tuning.

    Instead of a magic eye this model incorporated a Teleflick illuminated mechanical rotating vernier. Teleflick has a rotating wheel driven from the tuning drive with fine slots cut through like spokes in a wheel. This rotates against a fixed slotted mask and projects a thin line on to the dial glass which is screen printed with a clock face numbered radially from 1 to 15. The rotating wheel is lit from the rear by a dial lamp in a flashlight sized reflector.

    Manufactured by Radio (1936) Ltd for Bond & Bond Ltd.
