1964 Six-Transistor British Portable

1964NovRadioConstr1964NovRadioConstr2Sixty years ago this month, the cover of the British magazine Radio Constructor, November 1964, showed a photograph of this handsome, but ambitious, six-transistor portable, that could be run off either 7.5 or 9 volts. An artist’s conception is shown at the left.

The set pulled in both longwave and medium wave broadcasts (200 to 500 meters and 1250 to 1750 meters). Any suitable cabinet could be used. This one was made of wood, “and covered with one of the various materials which can be purchased for such purposes.”
