Other radios based on the same chassis:
Solid oak cabinet, broadcast band, 6-valve radiogram
(Note, this cabinet would be used for the model 61S released the following year - and the shown example might actually be that later stereo type - which likely uses a chassis labelled 6VDW, and also possibly known as a 6G2S, S32 or S34)
Intermediate Frequency: 455kc/s
Frequency Bands: 1
Chassis Notes(most schematics can be clicked to download a full size version)
Note: The PZ61RG and PZ64RG are almost identical (electrically) to the Clipper 601RG. Both schematics are provided - the only obvious differences being minor coil and component value changes.
General Construction Notes for Akrad Radio Corporation Ltd:
Akrad sets often consist of 3 (or 4) numbers (eg: 518, 1059) or number-letter-number (5M4), and a common pattern exists for these sets: The first digit(or 2 digits in the case of 10-or-more valves) is the number of valves, the second is the number of bands and the third is the last digit of the year. Where the middle digit is a letter rather than a number it generally refers to the type of set - M for mantle, P for portable, G from radiogram etc
Often sets can be dated by the speaker, as many Akrad sets from the Pye era have the date of manufacture stamped on the back of the magnet housing.
