Hello Mark.

I am a new member and thought you might be interested to add the details of my Hacker to your data base. I acquired the radio from my mother many years ago who always said it had a "beautiful tone", and she had many hours of use from it. I haven't used it but am determined to get it going which will involve me getting two PP9 batteries which I can source from a site here in Australia for about ten dollars each ie. five pounds each. Unfortunately I don't have the expertise to adapt it to mains power. Anyways here are the details:-

Model Designation Hacker Hunter VHF
Serial Number 08381
Handle Type One piece Wood Grain finish
Grille Type Mesh type aluminium Hacker name bottom right hand
DC Input No
Headphone Socket Yes
Loudspeaker Goodmans Grey colour
Tone Control Yes Silver with black base

Hope this information is of interest to yourself and members.
