Vintage Radios: Radio Rentals 66
 |
Size (approx): |
33cm x 25cm x 17cm (w,h,d) |
| Power: | AC Mains 200/250V | |
| Wavebands: | LW (1000 to 2000m). MW (200 to 550m) | |
| Controls: | Left knob on/off/volume, middle switch wave change, and right knob for tuning. | |
| Design: | Nice brown (wood grain) plastic case with painted cream trim highlights - without a straight edge anywhere. Large cream and black woven plastic speaker grill is the dominant feature. Cream tuning scale is easy to read with show-through station windows. | |
| Date: | Estimate around 1951/2 | |
| Manufacturer: | Radio Rentals, "This receiver is the property of Radio Rentals Ltd and must not be sold". | |
| Comments: | Unlike the earlier heavily built Radio Rental models, fashion must have been of greater concern than ruggedness. The two back panel fixing screws also secure the whole chassis - making removal very easy, you don't even have to take the knobs off. |
| Line up: | ECH?2, EF41, EL41, EBC41, EZ40 Mullard in place. |
