- Notes
-
Table model using British Ediswan transistors. Price UK £14.6s.2d. plus tax £4.11s.10d. Radio! Radio!, Hill, 1996 lists this model as 300TR, a typing error?
Uses 2 x 996 Lantern Batteries, the same PCB based chassis later used OC44 /OC81 series (on other Brands/Models) and was used in smaller Alba 22, Defiant A5 (later OC44 in Defiant A55) and Kit radios with a single PP11 battery. Chassis / PCB probably assembled by Plessey.
