  • La Gloria Olympic Cordless 8

    The latest circuitry with exceptionally high sensitivity puts this attractive portable device far ahead of anything else in its class. It has such extraordinary power that it is the perfect portable for either town or country. Not only is it capable of large volume with a minimum of background noise, but its tonal quality is exceptionally high from its 6 x 4 speaker. It features an 8" aerial rod. Tone control is incorporated, and external aerial and earth connections are provided.

    Fitted with a leather handle, the cabinet is in highly durable crackle-finish and is nicely trimmed to make it an ideal extra home portable. It is powered by a 9 volt 765 battery with life of approximately 500 hours. Measurements are 12½" x 7½" x 4".
