Another interesting feature is the joystick type ‘Monoknob’ which controlled volume, selectivity and tuning. The outer ring is used to switch between the LW, MW and SW wavebands. Extension sockets at the rear were provided for a gram, speaker, aerial and earth connections.
The retail-selling price was £18.7s.8d including purchase tax.
