I have often wondered why this is so. My guess is loss of 'Q' in the I.F. transformers and coils due to damp and changes in the wax they were often dipped in.

Were the older KB models more popular 'Up North' than down south? Maybe a link to the 'Queen Mary'.

My uncle had a KB radio, television and radiogram in the 1950's. He worked in the laboratories at Head Wrightson steel works Middlesbrough and was very well paid.

Exciting holidays at the steel works. John.
