The VTR103
A further development of the MB60 theme came in 1961 with the release of a new set that had VHF coverage from 88 to 100 MC/s in addition to the existing long and medium wave ranges of the earlier models. Given the model designation of VTR103, it had a chassis design that made use of the recently available Mullard AF11x series of alloy-diffusion transistors which offered improved HF performance over the earlier OC-series.
The colour scheme for the set was new too, the case being light cream or ivory in colour with a tan rexine band around the middle. The metal trim is chrome and a telescopic aerial was provided for VHF reception, capped by a translucent red plastic 'pip'. Almost as an after thought, in 1964 the VTR103 design was released in the alternate colour scheme of light blue/green case, blue rexine and chrome trim as per the existing TR82C model and bearing the model designation VTR103C.
