2-band MW/LW, seven transistors (Mullard, OC44, 2x OC45, OC71, 2x OC81, OC81D), one 9-volt battery
Manufactured by Perdio Electronics Ltd.; London
The Perdio Piccadilly shares the same chassis, pc board, and transistor complement as its Londoner PR 7 successor, which likely was released within a year or two of the Piccadilly's release.
On this set, both the LW and MW bands are calibrated simply in meters — most other European LW/MW radios didn't display the LW band in meter calibrations but rather designated by name the few LW broadcasters at their spots on the tuning dial.
