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

  The last version was 1956 and Alan Nutt has described the 1961 version over the March, April, May & June 1961 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 3 valves, silicon diode rectifiers and a ferrite aerial on an aluminium chassis and the radios construction is described in great detail over several issues to assist the beginner in radio construction.
