Im Gegensatz zu Radioempfängern für kommerzielle und/oder militärische Zwecke und den frühen Empfängern für Morsezwecke nennen wir hier Radio bzw. Rundfunkempfänger. Aber: Gemäss internationaler Sprachregelung führt der Radiokatalog Band 1 alle Empfänger mit aktiven Bauteilen als RADIO. Wir unterscheiden hier ebenfalls nicht, ob mit Röhren bestückt, hybrid, mit Transistoren oder/und ICs. Mod.-ID = 80660 previous | Result List | next | New search for Radios etc. Schematics etc.: 3 (for members) Principle Super-Heterodyne (Super in general); IF-Freq. 455 kHz; 2 AF-stage(s)Superhet - normally without a preamplification stage (as far as known). Please use «To add informations to model» if you know more! Thanks.
Récepteur TSF superhétérodyne. Normalement sans préamplification de HF.
Superhet ohne Vorstufe.
Nicht immer war bei der Erfassung klar, ob der Empfänger eine Vorstufe aufweist oder nicht. Im Zweifelsfall kam das Gerät in diese Kategorie.
Tuned circuits 6 AM circuit(s);
Wave bands Broadcast only (MW).Mittelwellenempfänger
Power type and voltage AC/DC-set / 117 VoltAC-DC set (all-mains) - sometimes plus voltage range:
/ = 2 different voltages
- = voltage from-to
* = «Special»
Attention: Chassis mostly connected to deadly high tension!
Apparareil à tous-courants. Tensions mentionnées.
Wechsel- und Gleichstrom:
/ = 2 Spannungswahlen
- = von-bis
* = Fabrikwahl
Vorgeschalteten Trenntrafo verwenden! Chassis oft unter Starkstrom stehend!
Loudspeaker/pwr.out Permanent Magnet Dynamic (PDyn) Loudspeaker (moving coil)Permanent magnet type moving coil speaker (principle by Rice-Kellog, without field excitation coil).
Haut-parleur avec système dynamique à aimant permanent (sans bobine d`excitation).
Permanentdynamischer Lautsprecher, also (modernes) Tauchspulenprinzip mit Selbsterregung bzw. Permanentmagnet statt Magnetspule. Siehe «Radios von gestern» Seiten 329ff. / Ø 15.2 cm = 6 inch

Notes SAMS Potofact date 4-55, set 272, folder 1 show the Admiral models 5R32, 5R33, 5R35, 5R36, 5R37 and 5R38 with the chassis 5R3 and the models 5S32, 5S33, 5S34, 5S35 and 5S38 with chassis 5S3 on the same schematic. The difference between R and S: S is AC only with electric clock. Otherwise they are the same except color. The color is given by the last digit, 1 = color black, 2 = brown, 3 = ivory, 4 = beige, 5 = red/white, 6 = turquoise/white, 7 = eony/white and 8 = green. The models have a loop antenna.

Beitman lists also models 5T31, 5T32, 5T33, 5T34 and 5T38 for chassis 5T3 on the same circuit where only chassis 5S3 differs with the colock associated switch.
