Raymond Electric Ltd., Wadsworth Road, Perivale, Middlesex
[May 1948]
Brent Crescent, North Circular Road, London N.W.10
Raymond had been manufacturing radios and radiograms for a number of years before entering the TV market with their model F26 in 1948.
Despite producing televisions for some 10 years or more, and usually investing in full page colour adverts in the trade press, they were probably only a minor manufacturer as few examples of their sets seemed to have survived.
By 1957 there was a definate link between Raymond and Beethoven products. It was reported in the May 1957 edition of Wireless World that "The manufacturers of Raymond and Beethoven receivers have made arrangements with Direct TV Replacements ... for them to manufacture replacement components for all models other than the current production range".
