In reproduction alone the improvement

is almost unbelievable. And that's only one of the remarkable things about these new Explorers. They bring in more stations---with less interference. They're easier to handle--better to look at and, of course, utterly tropic-proof. It's the seven new wonders of the radio world that make this advance possible--and you'll find that only Mullard has them all. Come and listen to the new Explorers.
