The company was registered in May 1933 with Directors Alan Burch and Carrie Burch.[1] The company initially manufactured radios for the wholesale market and by June 1933 decided to sell straight to the public.[2] In August 1933 they advertised 3, 5, 7 and 9 valve models at lower prices than their competitors.[3] With the introduction of their 1934 Superheterodyne receivers they introduced the brand “Telescopic” stating, their radios “do to broadcasts, what a telescope does to distant views”, bringing those distant stations into your home. [4] In May 1934 they advertised they were suppling a 5 valve, superhet radio to the Victorian Police Department for use in the Motor Cycle Patrol.[5][6] The company advertised an advanced showing of their 1938 models in October and by December 1937 they went into liquidation.[7][8] 1] The Herald (Vic.)
