    Very similar case style to 1352A

    Set has Band Spread for 'Radio Luxembourg'. Battery type PP7
    Some sets had Marine Band / Bandspread for Radio Luxembourg and Pirate Radio station Caroline. Band Spread Medium Wave / Long Wave (chosen from front knob).

    Such sets with Caroline on the dial can be dated reasonable specifically after 1964 when the Pirate Radio stations started. Certain production runs of radios had the 'Pirate' stations such as Caroline on the dial but this only lasted for a short time in 1965 until the British Government stamped down on the practice of radio manufacturers being seen to promote the 'pirate' radio stations.
