A MW/LW set, but no band switch: both bands are on the same tuning, though the LW "band" isn't actually a tuning band but a single frequency -- a RadioMuseum entry states that the LW band is pre-set to 1500m (BBC Light Programme). A number of other British radios used this tuning scheme as well, including the 1962 Perdio PR33 "mini 66" and the 1962 Dansette RT66 .
