- Notes
-
Compare with the Ever Ready model Sky Queen. Case, dial, outer knobs and handle are similar, but the chassis layout differs.
Actual country of manufacturing unknown, maybe a licence production.
Most likely it's a 1955 export model (SW instead of long wave). Chassis, especially the tuning and DK96 part is most similar to Berec Pioneer (Purely an Export label of Ever Ready UK manufacture at Wolverhampton). The Pioneer was in four version of wavebands.
The knobs are more like the 1956 Sky King / BEREC Jester rather than the Sky Queen (Both those are the Model K / Model T / Sky Queen style chassis). There is no printed evidence of BEREC brand before 1954.
At the time there was no connection between US Eveready (NCC/UC, overseas as UCAR batteries) and UK Ever Ready (BEREC was export Brand from mid 1950s, earlier African Saucepan Radios are Ever Ready and later versions are BEREC).
UK Ever ready and USA Eveready had a non competition agreement or understanding in some markets using BEREC and UCAR batteries.
This is possibly a less rugged version of Pioneer in the old Sky Queen case so as to have an internal B136 pack. The Pioneer used an external battery pack, probably the B136, though the B137 would be suitable and the B103 would simply have less used up LT.
