Austra-Lectric Manufacturers, also Austral-Lectric Austra-Lectic induction type phonograph motors were advertised by Fox & Mac Gillycuddy Ltd. and other radio dealers in Sydney, from 1930 to 1932.[1] The brand was distributed in wholesale by Fox & MacGillycuddy. Until now we could not find any other evidence for this manufacturer than those advertisements.
