  • This 1920s set has no manufacturer's name badge anywhere, but seems to be professionally built and uses quality components. The detachable coils are plug-in honeycomb coils from Igranic Electric, Bedford and are enscribed with the slogan 'What are the wild waves saying?'

    It is possible it is home made with components and a cabinet bought from a catalogue.
