GEC BC4650

     

G.E.C BC4650. This A.C Mains valve radio was made in 1946, and employs long, medium, & short wave bands, which are selected by a range of push-button controls, situated on the front of the receiver. One of these buttons is also the on/off switch. It has an impressive bakelite cabinet, and an unusually large dial pointer.
One of the disadvantages of the set, is that the dial markings are prone to fading - this symptom has affected the markings on the l.w band.
This receiver does work, as such, but requires further alignment.
I had to make an extension shaft to accommodate the treble control knob (bottom l.h side of photo), as this was missing. It is fastened in to a coupler, which is situated on the control.
The valve line-up in this set, includes :- X61M, KTW61, DH63, KT61, & U50.
