PYE 39J/H

A real top-of-the-range set from Pye in an absolutely humungous cabinet. I should have placed a PP3 battery by the side of it to give its picture some scale but I suspect the battery would be too small to pick out on my camera !
The huge tuning scale requires no less that four bulbs to illuminate it ; just check out the number of wavebands, which in addition to the standard long and medium wavebands includes :-

1)	11M (25-26.6Mc/s)		6)	31M (9.3-9.9M)
2)	13M (20.9-22.3Mc/s)		7)	41M (7-7.4M)
3)	16M (17.2-19.3Mc/s)		8)	49m (5.9-6.3Mc/s)
4)	19M (14.9-15.7Mc/s)		9)	M.S.W (1.5-4Mc/s)
5)	25M (11.4-12.1Mc/s			("Trawler")

It appears that this radio was even _meant_ to use these bands, performance being enhanced by the addition of an tuned tuned R.F. stage.

The luxury continues with two EL33's connected in push-pull to drive a real big speaker. Looks like proper push-pull too ; some sets of this type would use the audio output of one valve to drive (via an attenuator) the opposite valve, not ideal but saves a phase splitter valve. However, this set does it properly.
