Dear All,

I thought there might be some interest in this UK made BP426 portable from the Perivale factory in about 1946 / 47

It originally used a 2 V accumulator for the filament voltage, which I replaced with a 2V lead acid battery, as used with remote controlled cars and such.

Restoration was straightforward with very good shop info. being available.

Condition is more or less 'as found' after a clean-up.

Best Regards to all, after a long absence !

Chris
