Re: Oops! Can you spot it?
I’m no valve expert, but have they got the valves mixed up?! Surely the U12 is the top one?

Re: Oops! Can you spot it?
Methinks the valves are the wrong way round.

Re: Oops! Can you spot it?
I was too stunned by the price to notice the anomaly. 25 shillings must have been a considerable amount of money in 1930.

Re: Oops! Can you spot it?
One pound in 1930 equates to £65 today. 5 shillings is a quarter of a pound so £65 plus £16.25. so about £81.25 in today's money.

Re: Oops! Can you spot it?
I think your all correct..! Very unusual to make such a mistake especially in the Wireless World and a full page ad too. I wonder if anyone including Marconiphone noticed it? John.

Re: Oops! Can you spot it?
The plate was probably provided by Marconi's advertising dept. and just used as provided by WW's printers.
Compared with the standard of some of the pages in the likes of the current RS catalogue it's pretty good!

Re: Oops! Can you spot it?
Just a different way of portraying it. Picture inverted, text not.
