Hacker - Sovereign RP-18 Transistor radio

The Hacker 'Sovereign' is a 15 transistor (plus 7 diodes) portable radio receiver, designed for the highest possible quality reception of both AM and FM VHF broadcasting from a portable receiver. It features two separate tuners, one for AM reception and the other for FM, with common controls and amplifier. This dual receiver arrangement has many advantages in design and eliminates many disadvantages of combined receivers using common transistors and components. High sensitivity is essential for good FM reception and this is ensured by four I. F. stages. Main Features: 1) Automatic Frequency Control (AFC) on FM with 'Quiet Tuning' button for noiseless tuning and local station identification. 2) Common tuning control for AM and FM. 3) Separate tuner and IF strip for AM and FM with common amplifier. 4) Push button wave-change and 'quiet' tuning control. S) Three adjustable station markers for FM local stations. 6) 10" ferrite rod aerial for AM and telescopic rod for FM. 7) Large elliptical 8. x 5. speaker delivering 1.2 watts output direct coupled, transformer-less audio push-pull amplifier (negative earth). 8) Operating Controls and connectivity: Volume control/On-off switch. Independent Bass and Treble controls. Push button function switch. External sockets are provided for AM or FM aerial, Audio output at diode level for tape recording, Audio input socket for gramophone pick up microphone or tape replay and Output for personal earphone. Audio Frequency Response 30 Hz-20 KHz +/- 2db Batteries 2 x PP9 Every Ready (or equivalent). Consumption (measured at zero volume) AM 14mA (approx.) FM 18mA (approx.) Dimensions 320 x 223 x 122 mm The transistor radio’s you are seeing are all coming from a collector who passed away. All are not tested and will be sold as is !
