More photos and detailed specification
This 8 tube receiver
employs circuitry normally achieved using 9 tubes thanks to the
multiple-function European loktal tubes.
All knobs are mounted on
the sides. The tuning indicator is mounted in the top of the cabinet and is
viewed through the dial. The chassis is in 3 sections to allow the controls to
be situated at either end, with the power supply section in the centre.
The RF chassis is shared
with some other models of the era, for instance BX665X.
The tuning capacitor has 6
gangs. 3 normal ones are used for MW. 3 special ones used for SW have sections
cut out of the plates to allow a novel bandspread system.
The powerful audio system
features a push-pull amplifier with contrast expansion circuit, a large
loudspeaker and a high current rectifier.
