  • Notes
  • This 3 Band All Dry Superhet Portable was made  for the domestic market with UK station names on scale and as identical export model CN364 without the UK stations. So the rear label has  both model numbers. The exact model will be on the small metal plate.

    A single loop aerial assembly. The CN360A (and export version CN364A) differ by having a separate SW loop aerial hidden on the speaker baffle. The main visual difference is that the rear cover screw is at side on CN360A  CN364A but on the top edge on this earlier version.
