Pye T19D veneered wood case with sloping front £22.1s.2d plus purchase tax ECH35 EF39 EBC33 EL33 AZ31 Long, medium and 6 short waves Cambridge, UK 1950
The model T19D was introduced in 1949 and is similar to the 19D which was introduced 1948. I have two of these radios this one covers Long and medium wavebands and 6 short wavebands:13m, 16m, 19m,25m, 31m and 3-8 mc/s on the MSW wave band. The dial has no logging scale. Although this radio is clearly marked T19D the available service data indicates that sets with these wavebands are model 19D. So is this radio incorrectly labelled?

This is one of six radios which used to belong to the late Mr R M Nightingale given to me by his daughter. Roy Nightingale worked at Cambridge Instruments for many years. The radio is sadly silent at present but he clearly repaired this set over thirty years ago because the packaging for the replacement valve which now contains the faulty one was still inside the cabinet together with this packing slip. I wonder if he ever sent them the 34p?
