• Notes

• This is the domestic  version of the CN380 and differs only in scale markings. If it has UK domestic stations it's a CN379 or CN392.

  The CN392 is also the same, but showing "Copenhagen plan" station wavelengths.

  From 1950 the DL94 is used instead of  3V4, early models may use all Brimar / US designation types and later models the Dx9x types.

  The actual model (CN379 or CN380) is stamped on metal badge on inside of base rather than the paper valve / battery label.
