Description
This ''Precedent Four Valve'' receiver was made in Australia in 1953.
There is no model number for this receiver (not on the chassis anyway)
It was an 'entry level' AM radio in 1953 as it was cheaper than other makes of receivers at that time....such as HMV, AWA, etc.
The 4 valves are :
6AN7
6N8
6M5
6V4 rectifier (Not 6x4). (6X4 is the 7 pin equivalent of the 6V4).
All tubes are miniature 9 pin valves
This receiver does not have an internal ferrite core antenna, and as as result, the 'long wire' aerial tends to pick up more electromagnetic noise. It would have worked better with an internal ferrite rod antenna.
