Introduced around 1956, a neat “reproducer” - eg amplifier and deck. Very modern-looking for its time, but quite bulky. 78/45/33 rpm.
Fitted with a nice quality Collaro AC3/534 deck. Crystal “turnover” cartridge with saphire stylus.
Uses an unusual mixture of an ECC83 (6V heater, B9A) valve with a pair of UL41 in push-pull and a UY41 rectifier (series heater B8 rimlock). The push-pull output through the 8” loudspeaker would have given good sound quality and levels.
However, a price of 37gns may have deterred all but well-heeled purchasers!
