Well spotted Lawrence.

£10.17.6d in 1930 - ouch, not a trifling sum, but neither were HT and grid bias batteries, plus frequent accumulator re-charging, which - to quote the advert - was 'fiddlesome'! I notice the bayonet lighting fitting main connector, so ubiquitous in days of yore into which to plug anything from an electric iron to an electric fire, with no thought as to the loading on the lighting circuit - probably TRS insulated.
