Thank you, I think you're right with the PR36 Lawrence, I know there were a few varieties, this one doesn't have a telescopic aerial.

Lawrence is rarely wrong! Both are very nice ..... and do I see a Bush TR130 lurking in the background?

The Bush TR130 and Murphy B818 are a good example of so called "Badge Engineering," they are fundamentally the same set with minor cosmetic differences. They were manufactured by Rank Bush Murphy in 1965.

The only other one is this ferranti one. No model number, my guess would be one of the PT vanity ones.

I like the looks of that Pye. Lovely nice clean lines and clear controls.

Think its a branding thing again barry with multiple sets looking the same but with different company names on. The handles are different though
