Built Radio” the Troubadour and added Electrical Engineers & Wireless Experts. [4] According to the late John Stokes Turnbull & Jones manufactured Troubadour radios on a small scale from 1933 and production ceased in 1934. For a short time afterward this same brand name was used on sets made by Radio Corp. for Turnbull & Jones. However, after 1934 the latter firm took over the distribution of Courtenay but was still sold by Turnbull & Jones.[1] In 1934 Turnbull and Jones arranged for Radio Corp. to make a range of coils and transformers which they marketed under the brand 'Exelrad'. The following year they added kitset radios which were very similar to models manufactured by Radio Corp. Production continued up till the start of WW2. The Exelrad brand continued after the war, although these were not made by Radio Corp. [1] Stokes - The golden age of radio in the home. |
