Added an Australian transistor to my collection
It's an AWA Radiola model B67Y
Seems Australia had a steep tax on imported radios from the 30's to the 70's, so Australia had radio manufacturers. And most Aussie radios were "stationized", that is, radio station callsigns on the dial instead of frequencies. In Australia, radio stations are licensed with VL#xx format, but as Australia is well away from anywhere else, the stations all drop the VL part and just ID as say "4KQ Brisbane". The dial is divided into their numbered areas (each state has its own number) but it's just a single band MW AM radio, 540 to 1600 KHz.
