  • Notes

  • The Flinders BC 370 is the dual‑supply counterpart to the BC 360, using the same 5‑valve high‑efficiency superheterodyne circuit but designed for A.C. or D.C. mains operation. 

    It retains the metal‑cored I.F. transformers, counter‑balanced tuning drive, and full‑vision dial with multi‑state station markings. A.V.C. is provided for stable reception across varying signal strengths. Audio output is delivered to an 8‑inch Magnavox electrodynamic speaker, with continuously variable tone control.

    Flinders Cabinet also available in the following Receivers;

    BC360 — 5 valve A.C. Broadcast Superheterodyne
    BC375 — 4 valve Battery Broadcast Superheterodyne
