The Design

Most hams were quite satisfied with this radio, if they had the possibility to buy it, that is. The set has electrical fine tuning by small capacitors parallel to the main tuning capacitor. There is a possibility to connect extra equipment, for example, a tuning indicator.

This Object

The radio opens with a lid on the top, so it is very easy to change a tube, watch inside, or do experiments.
