  • Notes
  • According to "Grinder" (for 1922), the "ACE Radio Concert Receptor Type TRU" has one dial. But according to Radio Collector's Guide by McMahon, page 51 (for 1922), it has two main dials, probably counted is the knob for reaction (regeneration) which has the same size as the tuning knob.
    The Ace TRU Concert Receptor was manufactured by Precision Equipment Corp. and not Crosley Radio Corp. See the ACE model at Precision. There was NO association with the Crosley Mfg. Co. in 1922. But Crosley bought Precision Instruments January 6th, 1923. It may be that Crosley sold such sets in 1923. This can explain the listing for Crosley by McMahon.
