Hello, I found this great site by chance and am looking forward to learning more about Australian and New Zealand radio history. I have two Australia made radios, an STC 550P and a Fisk Radiola 66Z and one New Zealand made Courtney 75. I also have several of the US made Philips radios that have been the subject of earlier posts. I hope to be able to help on this subject and others. I have been collecting radios and televisions since the early sixties. John

G'day John,

Welcome to the forums. Quite a few Australian collectors have American sets in their collections, including the classic AK breadboards and Majestic consoles. We have a couple of other regulars from the US here too, one having a few Aussie sets in his collection.

A valve a day keeps the transistor away...
