  • Notes

  • The Flinders BC 375 is a 4‑valve battery‑operated superheterodyne designed for use with a 2‑volt accumulator and external high‑tension batteries. 

    The receiver covers the broadcast band using a conventional battery‑superhet arrangement with IF amplification and a detector feeding a single low‑drain audio output stage. Despite its reduced valve count, the set maintains good sensitivity and selectivity for rural reception.

    Flinders Cabinet also available in the following Receivers;

    • BC360 — 5 valve A.C. Broadcast Superheterodyne
    • BC370 — 5 valve A.C./D.C. Broadcast Superheterodyne


    This model uses the same chassis as the Tasma Gilbert 375.
