    This model page is for collecting uncertain or unknown pictures or facts for a given season. Can also contain the different pictures for the different models from sets of this season.
    For season C, 1934/35 there were at least the following general models offered:
    402C, 404C, 405C, 301C and 1600C plain cabinet for a conceiled installation.
    Known details for 1600C are found here. This model type started in season "B" and ended in season "G".
    Chassis:
    The series 300C and 400C were made with either broadcast only or as "All-Wave" receiver for BC, LW and SW. The "All wave model" offers the following bands:
    Long Waves 140 kHz to 350 kHz, Broadcast 540 kHz to 1500 kHz, "Police etc." 1.4 MHz to 3.5 MHz, SW 1 3.4 to 8.5 MHz and SW 2 8.3 MHz to 20 MHz.
    We still have to find the right schematic.
    See the other model pages under their model type name.
    For an overview about the cabinets during the different seasons see this article.

    The Capehart 400 series were introduced for season 1931/32 without suffix, followed by A 1932/33, B 1933/34 etc. through to season 1948-50. See here the "Common information for the Capehart model pages for the 1930s and 1940s".
