The Aladdin Electric is a tuned frequency radio receiver, first marketed by Australian manufacturer Astor in 1929.
Tuned frequency radios featured multiple dials which each had to be adjusted to receive the desired signal.
Radio suppliers often sold branded notebooks for listeners to record the frequencies of their local stations.
