Technico Aristocrat

Australian Technico Radio model 750 Aristocrat, bakelite, 1947

The Aussie Technico model 750 "Aristocrat" made in 1947 is a large (17 inches wide) bakelite set
available in similar versions with different dials and 4 knobs, nearly identical to some Belmont styles.
This version has a beautiful 2-color red/green reverse-painted glass dial.
A white plaskon version is rarely seen.
Although nearly 3 times as large, the design is amazingly similar to the US-made Belmont 519 and 520.
Which came first, the Technico or Belmont??
