THE 'STABULATOR' PORTABLE AERIAL & SUPPRESSOR, 1953

Intended for wireless receivers the Stabulator portable aerial and suppressor unit, comes with a leaflet that claims: -. ‘‘Gives greater sensitivity, less interference, better selectivity & –purer tone-. The Aerial sold with a £100 money back guarantee. If a better aerial could be made we would make it’’.
The item looks like an old capacitor with new a label stuck around it, and the leaflet goes on to instruct how to wire it to your set. Including mentioning that this unit alone will work with no other Aerial or earth, making your set portable.
This product was supplied by the same company as Item A1921 using a different name.
The Trades Description Act of 1968, helped prevent companies making claims about their products that were either misleading or could not be possible.
