A full range of the company’s products will also be seen.

The modernising of old sets is a speciality of iJixon’s Radio Service and Supplies, at 22 Swanson Street. The service, repair and rebuilding side of the radio trade has been studied thoroughly by this firm.

“No place like home—when you’ve an Atwater Kent” is the motto of Harringtons, Ltd., who will be showing these popular all-electric and battery power sets at stand 6. This firm also sells long and short wave receivers. The main exhibits on stand 19 (Speddings, Ltd.) will be Magnavox X-core dynamic speakers, Burgess batteries, Mullard valves and equipment, and Webster gramaphone pick-ups and amplifiers. All four trade names are well-known in Auckland.

New Zealand-made receivers will be on show at stand 16, Selectra Radio, Ltd., and these are said to compare very favourably with overseas products in both appearance and performance. A few accessories will be shown in addition tb complete Selectra sets.

New models of. the A. C. Dayton nine-valve receiver will be seen at stands S and 9, where Superadio, Ltd., will be displaying the latest in radio. The Dayton “Navigator” is said to have knife-edge selectivity and is supplied with a dynamic reproducer.

New models of the well-known Crossley receivers are expected by David Teed, Ltd., 205 Broadway, Newmarket, shortly. All-electric power sets will be among the new arrivals.
