- Notes
-
This radio used an Aegis bakelite case. Radofone manufactured the chassis and sold this radio as a kitset to the industry. An advertisement in Radio & Hobbies, October 1947, Page 30, states that they supplied Radio & Hobbies circuit and necessary parts list supplied with each kit. A trade release for Radofone in the January 1948 issue of Radio & Hobbies, page 69, suggests the 3/4 valve version is based on the Little General for 1946 (Radio & Hobbies January, 1946), and the 4/5 valve version is based on the Advance for 1947 (Radio & Hobbies, October, 1947).
This cabinet was also used by Kriesler, Aegis, Chieftain & Relton brands of radios. The Krieslers are models 3K00, 3K04 & 3K95. See page 108 & 109 of Radio Days by Sheridan & Singer.
