Later version of model KB 102 also using screen grid valves, and with Dual Control. The 102 has a single tuning control the 163 has dual tuning controls.
Some sets show a plate in front of the sales organisation like "Lloyd & Lloyd, Ironmongery & Agricl. Engineers. Motor & Cycle Factors, Newtown, Mid. Wales." This has not to do with the manuafcturer Kolster Brandes - but we keep this in the model text so that somebody looking with SEARCH will find it.
