Murphy AD94 radio receiver, 1940. The first receiver from Murphy to utilise a Bakelite cabinet (designed by Eden Minns). The design of this radio became the basis for the Civilian Wartime Receiver released a couple of years later. The AD94 cost £9.10.0 when released, and purchase tax would have been payable on top of this price from October 1940 at the initial rate of an additional 33 1/3%. The 5 valve line-up was TH233, VP133, HL133DD, PEN383, and U403. Two non-original holes are drilled at upper rear corners.
