  • Notes

  • "Serenade your sweetie with a University PK4 Portable" make this your selling slogan for PK4 Portables. Spring is nearly here, the time when a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of Portables. PK4's, they're good; you can sell 'em by the bucketful.

    Why not decide to build one from a Radio Equipment Kit and try its remarkable performance for yourself?
    This receiver has been designed and produced by Radio Equipment Pty. Ltd. in a remarkably efficient commercial form. It possesses all the desirable features striven for by set manufacturers, yet it beats them all, both in technical.
