Dark brown bakelite case and ivory
plastic grille. Release date October 1949. The radio
covers
185-560 meters and 1070-1900 meters in
two bands. The circuit switch is turned on automatically
when the roller-type shutter covering the scale is
opened. The receiver has an internal frame aerial. The
LT unit is a dry 1.5 volts battery and the HT battery
consists of two 45 volts units. The price of the
radio was £13 11s 4 d.
Judging by the number
of survivors, the radio either wasn't popular or many
were damaged because of the material used (bakelite and
plastic). Bush made later portables out of something
more sturdy.
