Description
My ''Gold Standard'' receiver the Little Nipper model 64-52 finds a new home in its original HMV cabinet including a matching rear panel in maroon
Note that not all ''restored'' HMV model 6452 receivers sound the same, and their performance depends on the values and layout of replacement capacitors, valves, and resistors, which can result in hum and AM noise on some received stations and not on others....
My 64-52 Little Nipper with serial number 21198 seems to have been fortunate enough to have had a good combination of replacement capacitors, resistors and tubes resulting in noise free reception and good audio quality
As an example, my other HMV 6452 which has also been ''restored'', exhibits slight hum on ABC Canberra Radio National which is not evident on my 21198 serial number receiver !
