I have recently acquired a British made Philco BP413 portable valve receiver. It was made in 1944 and was used during the war as a military utility receiver. Unlike civilian utility radios which covers MW and LW, this one is single band and covers 1.4Mhz - 4.2Mhz. It is very small only 10.5" x 7.5" x 7.5" and is battery powered. The radio has 4 valves ARTP2, ARP12, AR8 and CV65.
The radio is in good condition, but all the wax capacitors and electrolytics need replacing. The case is made of polished wood and has a frame aerial built into the front panel.
I am trying to find a circuit for this radio, but cannot find one anywhere, can anyone help or know any more about this little gem?
