Model RN Radio by Delta Radio of Streatham
One of the sets I bought at the last Radiophile auction was a RN radio by Delta Radio Streatham. This Rexine covered transportable mains set appears to date from WW2 as it covers MW and 2 shortwave bands only and has Home and Forces marked on the dial, is AC/DC using Mazda Octal valves (PEN383 output) and has the appearance of a utility set although quite well constructed, no frame aerial. I was wondering if the name "RN" meant it could be intended as a welfare type receiver for naval barracks.
Has anyone any ideas about this and also has anyone heard of Delta Radio. Mike. |

With its reinforced corners and recessed knob panel the cabinet bears some resemblance to Receiver Broadcast type C No. 2 made by Decca.

I lived in Streatham for 30 years. I'd love to know where they were.
