I've at least McMichael
1929 : Super Range Portable four
1935 : 235
1946 : 463
1948 : 484
There might be others. I've no complete catalogue. Those were all working / restored inc replica battery packs. The 1929 LT is NiMH C cells in a jar. The 1948 LT is a real 2V industrial type Lead Acid in glass. It was an unused, never filled 1970s one and I filled it with suitable sulphuric acid about 5 years ago, so might not be great. I could never get the highest frequency SW working on the 484 (about 20% of UK homes still had no mains in 1948 and that model was in a Rectory from new, in Shetland or Orkney. I have the Glasgow supplier box somewhere too.
