Re: McMichael 135s - a comparison.
For several years I owned a 135, 137 and the rarer 138 (oblong flat dial with pre-tuned push buttons) but sadly they had to go when I moved house because I didn't have the space. They are lovely radios, but take up a vast amount of room. I've attached a Wireless World review of the 135 dated 31 May 1935, and an extract from a 1939 McMichael brochure (possibly Radiolympia) showing the 137 at 17 Gns for the AC model and 17 & 1/2 Gns AC/DC. The cabriole legged stand was 2 Gns extra. At least it looks like the valves were included in the price! The 138 was more expensive at 18 & 1/2 Gns and seems to have been AC only. Cheers, Jerry
