  • The Super-Six: A Rare AC-Powered Superheterodyne

    The Super-Six is a five-valve (tube) AC-powered superheterodyne receiver known to cover the mediumwave and shortwave bands, ranging from 13 meters to 550 meters (approximately 0.5 MHz to 23 MHz).

    Potentially Eddystone's First Superhet?
    While information about the Super-Six is scarce, it's rumored to be the first superheterodyne receiver manufactured by Eddystone.

    Documented Appearance
    The Super-Six received a mention in the September 1935 issue of Wireless Magazine on page 140, alongside price listings for the Eddystone Sphinx and All World Four models.

    Availability and Packaging
    It remains unclear whether the Super-Six was offered as a kitset for hobbyists to assemble themselves or as a factory-assembled unit ready for use. Additionally, there is no definitive information regarding whether the radio came housed in a dedicated cabinet.
