• Notes

• The Popular "5" (Model LL-LM) Australia's most compact 5 Valve Car Radio. Controls are actually part of the receiver, thus reducing installation time and costs to a minimum. Fits neatly under the dash, leaving normal leg room, even in a baby car. The 6-inch Rola speaker ensures plenty of volume.

  Price of £34/7/2 includes installation and whip or cowl aerial (optional).
