    A Ten-Valve (plus magic eye) All-World 5 waveband table model. A radio receiver really powerful-both regarding range and rendering-describes "His Master's Voice" Model 650. An 11-valve superhet five-waveband chassis of completely new design enables one to hear broadcasts from all over the world with a quality of tone that is TRUE-TO-LIFE... at a volume sufficient to fill a large house. The fluid light indicator makes tuning easy and accurate, and separate bass and treble tone controls enable the listener to adjust the reproduction to suit his musical taste. The cabinet is handsomely fashioned in figured walnut. Five controls 10-watt undistorted speech output. Selling at £48 10s. cash or with payment "spread" over 12 to 24 months.
