    An unusual feature of this radio is that one of the shortwave bands is centered at 41.5 Mc / s - this is the old BBC television VHF channel sound. The dial is marked - Tele sound. There is something else which is extremely unusual, there is a glass window in the back of the radio, which is used to display bright valves and chrome chassis. These is a feature of many RAP AC models. The AC/DC models appear to have conventional perforated card backs. 

    También es una bella pieza en busca de muebles. Hay un interruptor SI ancho de banda, ancho o estrecho, que es tan característica muy útil. Una característica inusual de esta radio es que una de las bandas de onda corta se centra en el 41,5 Mc / s - esta es la vieja televisión de la BBC VHF canal de sonido. El dial está marcado - Sonido Tele. Hay algo más que es extremadamente inusual ... Hay una ventana de cristal en la parte posterior de la radio, que sirve para visualizar las válvulas de brillantes y el chasis cromado. El RAP 846 es único.
