I've seen this radio mentioned in passing on the forum, but cant find any definitive data, pictures, or date even. Can anyone put me out of my misery please? Steve.

August '37 release, AC/DC set with eight valves plus two rectifiers and tuning indicator: 6D6, 6A7, 6D6, 75, two 76, two 43, two 12Z3 and 6G5. Thorn 110 barreter. Normal coverage 12.5-25m and 25-60m, or with -T suffix 16-50m and 75-170m - I'm assuming LW and MW too for both versions. 456kc/s i.f.. Output quoted as 5W, and table, console and autochange radiogram versions all available at £16.16s, £21 amd $44.2s respectively. That's as much as the Trader's 'Receiver Specifications and Prices' has to say.

Thanks Paul, sounds interesting.

Does it look anything like a 503? Steve.
