• Notes

• This Art Deco Bakelite Peter Pan tube radio is well known for it's design. The stations shown in the central part are the capital city stations while those shown at the top and bottom are country town stations in the various states. There is other models with the same cabinet (like the FJJ) which have broadcast only - even a battery model. Both, the FJN and FJJ were current until 1951 - but we have to find out by the suffix which ones were the early or late and what differences there are. Both radios are in the AORSM vol.8 which covers 1949 models.

  Note; The valve layout diagram as shown in the pictures is in error.
