AJS Radios
Being a big fan of AJS Motorcycles and owning one of the modern day Scooters , I was surprised to learn that they also made radios from about 1923 to 1928 as one of the founders Harry Stevens was a keen radio ham.
Does anyone have an AJS Radio in their collection? I've certainly never seen one in the wild. |

Not seen it before but looks like a hive of information and illustrations. Seems that the Radios were of a good quality too and still occasionally appear for sale. |

Re: AJS Radios
I have the AJS F4 from 1924 plus matching horn speaker and with original bright emitters.
Though I have never ran it with those ,instead I use new ex military HL2,s. Must have had it 50 years plus.Also have a book on AJS.

Re: AJS Radios
There are several versions of F4 in Radiomuseum. Here's one:

Re: AJS Radios
I have a pair of AJS high impedance headphones.
They are very high quality and work very well with my crystal set (not AJS). Andy
