- Notes
-
A found model of this radio is equipped with Marconi-Osram tubes. An alternative tubeset was proposed by Mullard: S4VB, S4VB, 354V, AC044 and DW2.
The output tube PT4 and the by Mullard proposed AC044 are not compatible. The exact type remains therefore unknown. There is, however, model BC3240 with the same Marconi-Osram tubeset which seems to confirm the PT4. If the schematic from BC3240 is any indication, then this model would have reaction on and grid-leak detection on tube MH4.
