Default Sky Baronet battery connector pins

Hello Folks,
I recently picked up a Sky Baronet as my first valve radio.

I know that it needs 90v and 1.5v but I can't remember the connector's pins.

It has a four pin connector with the pins arranged as a trapezium. The wires are black, brown, red and yellow.

Please can someone tell me which is which?


Thanks,

Andy.

Hi Andy

Great result, be careful you will soon find battery valve portables are likely to multiply

The Sky Baronet is a great looking set coming near to the end of the battery valve radio era.

The last Ever Ready battery valve set was the Sky Captain

Cheers
