Well, someone had to buy it !!!

Of the whole series, the ETR2 must be the oddest, and perhaps rarest of all. The use of the one valve to ensure that the radio operated reliably at higher frequencies was technically well reasoned, and there are other hybrid sets of the era - I have a small HMV portable which has a transistorised audio stage but valve frequency changer and IF stage. But I guess that the ETR2 found a limited market, and I think the HMV one is also uncommon, if not rare. (The model number escapes me and I'm not at home just now to check. The set is very compact inside!).

The sets in your collection look in good shape Robert, with not a misty dial in sight.
