  • This is another updated version of the famous Radio & Hobbies Little General.

    The last version was 1952 and Raymond Howe has described the 1956 version over the June, July, August and September issues of Radio TV & Hobbies magazine.

    Once again this model is designed for simplicity, small size and as few components as possible. This version utilises an aluminium chassis, 4x5 oval speaker and the radios construction is described in great detail over several issues to assist the beginner in radio construction.
