It is true about the 8" RCA sets. I have one and it is probably the most cramped tube set i have ever serviced. That Pye 16" portable is very smartly designed with the high heat generating components on the metal chassis so as not to cook the circuit board. Also, it appears to have a mains transformer built-in. Most American portables of that era were transformerless. I too am curious about the gap between the channels and it also looks like it has a channel one. Is that a wood cabinet?
