  • Compact crystal detector receiver housed in a circular wooden cabinet stamped with the B.B.C. mark of approval. The front panel carries the tuning dial and terminals for aerial, earth, and headphones.

The set was supplied complete and guaranteed, with each unit B.B.C. stamped and finished in selected wood.

    Advertised as “Absolutely the Finest on the Market.” Sold at 25 shillings plus 1 shilling for the B.B.C. stamp. Distributed wholesale and through retailers by Harding, Holland & Fry Ltd., 27 Garlick Hill, London, E.C.4.

    See also Type B  incorporating additional refinements.

    Correction:
    Two period advertisements for the O.T.B. Crystal Set, distributed by Harding, Holland & Fry Ltd., London, present conflicting descriptions of the Type A and Type B models. The earlier advert (likely 1923) mistakenly reversed the technical details. The later advert clarifies the correct specifications:

    Model Description Price Features
    Type A Basic version 25/‑ + 1/‑ BBC stamp Ordinary outside nickel‑plated terminals; no lightning arrester
    Type B Deluxe version (illustrated) 30/‑ + 1/‑ BBC stamp Special plug‑in terminals on sides; internal lightning arrester; operable with cover on, no disconnection required
