• Notes

• Attache case radio. Trader Sheet gives the IF as 475, but R&TVS states 470Khz.

  Identical case size & build to Regatta CN420 and Regatta CN420A.

  Cord Geared drive on tuning (many Vidor with scale are direct drive on tuning). Wavechange and Battery/off/Mains are separate switches.

  Case dimensions include catches, feet, hinges and handle. Basic case is 346 x 237 x 113mm.

  Dual MW & LW loop aerials in the lid. The lid also operates a switch to make the set "howl" if closed while on.

  Weight excludes battery packs, L5536 90V HT (Ever Ready B138) and L5060 7.5V LT (Ever Ready AD43). HT about 180 hrs and LT perhaps 90 Hrs. Obviously the lower capacity B126 (about 1/3) and AD38 (about 1/2) will actually connect, fit and work.

  In theory has Transformer isolation from mains.
