The tuner used for the 600 range was unusual in a number of ways. The most obvious of these was that the LW and MW bands were combined into one continuously tunable range.The AM tuner was also a double-conversion superheterodyne receiver with a first IF at around 3MHz. This gave unusually high selectivity to reduce interference. It also allowed the use of varactor diode (electronic) tuning. It was this technique which enabled the continuous LW/MW tuning. It also meant that electronic presets were available for MW and LW as well as VHF. All these features were novel at the time for a Hi-Fi system and came from the designer’s (Ted Rule’s) background as a radio amateur as well as his experience in earlier years with radio in the RAF.

 

 

The condition is excellent as there are no obvious signs of wear and tear in the form of scratches or chips.

 

 

The item will be carefully packed with bubble wrap to ensure the safe postage and arrival of the item.

 
 

All conditions mentioned are my honest but own opinion, please take a close look at the images and make your own (hopefully similar) judgement.
