1950s Battery Valve Portables - Misconceptions?

[Robert Darwent]

And were there any TRF/Regen post war portables ?

I'm not aware of any TRF portables produced post-war, but its not something I've really looked into. I would imagine they are all superhet designs by that time.

The only TRF portable I have is a Wayfarer Major dating from 1936;

           

I purchased it via eBay back in 2008 but have yet to sort out its battery arrangements and give it a try. In the intervening five years I have only seen two other sets listed, so its quite a scarce model.
