PART FOUR - Selling the Tecnico

Tecnico already had an Australia-wide dealer network - the appliance stores that were
selling their radios, vacuums and polishers. Tecnico was a well-known and respected
household brand. This meant that the Tecnico was sold all over Australia, with many
dealers taking advance orders on this 'new type' of lawnmower.

Initially priced at nineteen guineas (plus flex cord), this machine was market as
"Australia's ORIGINAL electric lawn mower". Heavily advertised, this was a mower in demand!

It would appear that little change was needed for the first model. Two changes of note would
be the dispensing of the saw-tooth rotary blade in favour of a conventional bar-blade; and
the addition of a strap carry handle over the motor cowling.
