The battery-operated B38 was launched in 1937. It was available in walnut and in black and chrome cabinets. The set was also available as an AC/DC mains version, the AD38. The cabinet featured rattan instead of speaker cloth, a treatment shared, amongst Ekco sets, only by the black and ivory instance of the
AC77, of 1936, the cabinet of which was designed by Serge Chermayeff.
