Default Riviera Radio set.

Arrived today a radio set made by Riviera Radio. I know nothing about the firm that made the set except the electronics resemble the battery version of the KB Pup. That is, a very simple circuit employing two triode valves. Only one tuned circuit for medium and long wavebands. The reaction control functions as the volume control.
As the attachment shows there isn't much scope of improving the set other than constructing an entirely chassis using better valves. In it's present state the choice of valves is limited by the four pin sockets.

I bought the set because I liked the look of it.
