Not really Jon.
Pye released their AC/DC set, the B18T with flyback in September 1948. This was followed the following year by many companies but HMV continued with one model until 1954! Ekco used a fearsome voltage doubler supply from a 6kv mains transformer again late in 1950/52/53. [15" models]Very odd because they had excellent success with early flyback receivers.
1949 was the year when it started to fade away quickly and by 1950 most had gone over to flyback or for just a year or less the unpredictable separate R.F. oscillator. Regards, John.
