black moulded ebonite case and nickel-plated fittings.
Glass-enclosed cat's whisker and galena detector (a
"fixed" crystal, the
Brownie Permatector could also be used). With aerial and earth terminals on the upper
surface and phone terminals on the lower surface.
The receiver came with a coil for the new long wave station
5XX (Daventry) on 1600 meters. With the loading bridge
in place, the receiver can be used on the medium wave up
to 600 meters.
The knob in the middle is
used for tuning and operates a swinging-arm on a
slide-coil.
The receiver came on the market in September
1925. The original price was 10/6 shilling.
A matching 2-valve amplifier (the "Note Magnifier")
was introduced in 1926.
