BEREC (British Ever Ready Export Company) had to manufacture a small radio for around ?5 for Nyasaland and Rhodesia. They developed a small 4 valve shortwave receiver that was powered by a B136 battery (90V), which the radio sat on top of. One problem was to find a cheap housing for the receiver. This was cleverly solved by using a blue-sprayed metal case that was made by the British Aluminium Saucepan Factory. It was basically a 10-inch saucepan with the handle removed and a hole punched in the bottom for the loudspeaker. So was born the J-A3F "Saucepan Special", launched in September 1949, for SW 25m to 90m
