  • Notes

  • The new "Dual Wave Fives" are designed for World - wide reception. Tests have proved that they give consistent long-distance reception on short waves (as distinct from spasmodic results under good conditions), and so bring to reality that much-abused term-"World-wide".

    The exquisite quality of their reproduction on short and broadcast waves still further enhances the entertainment value of these superb receivers to a degree rarely attempted in commercial sets.

    All "GENALEX" Models give you these new and distinctive features:

    1. The amazing new Metal-Cored Intermediates, providing, extreme selectivity.
    2. Full automatic Volume Control
    3. Counter-balanced Station Selector
    4. Full-vision clock face dial
    5. Cabinet beauty

    Lachlan Cabinet also available in the following Receivers —
