LA GLORIA SPRITE (CIRCA 1965)

The La Gloria Sprite was manufactured for various retail outlets by Dominion Radio and Electrical Corporation Ltd in about 1965.

Other radios based on the same chassis:

3-valve mantle radio.

Very similar to the La Gloria Elf and Majestic Herald, this model has a gram input to connect a record player, but appears otherwise to use the same cabinet and similar circuitry (with the same valve lineup) as the other two models. 

Note that this model uses a traditional metal chassis, not the printed circuit board of the Elf and Herald, and may actually pre-date those models rather than be an update.

Note this advert says 5-valve - although this cabinet has only been seen by the author with a 3-valve chassis.  They could mean 5-valve equivalent?
