Notes
Wartime civilian receiver (AC), made by Wartime Joint Enterprise, British, 1944-1945.

To overcome the shortage of broadcast receivers that developed during the Second World War, a collection of 44 British electronics and radio manufacturers came together under the banner of 'Joint Wartime Enterprise', and sponsored by the British Government, to build the "wartime civilian receiver" also known as the "utility set." The "utility set" was an inexpensive radio receiver built to a standard design by several manufacturers and for which spare parts would be easily available and could come from any manufacturer. In total, over a quarter of a million sets were produced.

Both Battery and AC mains versions were manufactured.

The radios were designed by Dr. G. D. Reynold of Murphy Radio Ltd. and those made by Murphy bore the manufacturer code U7.

They were released in June 1944 with the Battery table model at £10 19s. 0d. (inclusive of purchase tax) and the Mains table model at £12 3s. 4d. inclusive of purchase tax).
