Black plastic
cabinet with small square holes and an aluminium frame
and carrying handle. The top with the two small thumb
wheels gives that part of the radio the appearance of a slide rule.
The design is by
Jacob Jensen. The radio was produced in the colours white,
black and red.
Predecessor of this receiver was
the Beolit 400. That radio has no tone filter and does
not have and internal AC adapter.
The radio only
receives FM:
87.5-104 MHz and has 9 transistors.
The receiver can
be equipped with
5 1.5 volt batteries and can also be used on AC (220-240 volts).
Listen to "Venus"
by Shocking Blue,
recorded in 1972

look a bit like a slide rule.
