Very nice receiver and as with all KB products well built by the ladys at Footscray.
I have a couple of these but have found as with certain other KB models, the VHF/FM performance is below even well below it's contemporaries.

I have put this down to the location of the KB factory, literally within touching distance of Wrotham!

Some of the best fringe area television receivers were built by PYE at Cambridge then very much a fringe area for AP. The model V4 solved 90% of the problems associated with fringe reception.

Maybe if KB had been a little further distant from the VHF/FM transmitter they may have designed more sensitive receivers. Other than that, a first class company. Regards, John.
