Im Gegensatz zu Radioempfängern für kommerzielle und/oder militärische Zwecke und den frühen Empfängern für Morsezwecke nennen wir hier Radio bzw. Rundfunkempfänger.

Wir unterscheiden hier ebenfalls nicht, ob mit Röhren bestückt, hybrid, mit Transistoren oder/und ICs.Radio or Tuner

Notes
The Lafayette "New Deal" model A-11 is a 5-Tube AC/DC Superheterodyne and covers 190 to 550 meters. Three-Gang Variable Condenser, built-in aerial. The RF coils are wound so that the set reaches to 190 meters instead of 200 meters. It brings police calls in some localities. Finished in contrasting shades of walnut and mahagony its distinctive lines are accenuated by fine lines of two color marquetry inlay. The set is listed at $ 40.00 but the Lafayette price is $ 17.95. There is also a "Suede Carrying Case" for $ 1.50. The same model no. A-11 is also available for 220 volts, price $ 19.25. Fact is that this Superheterodyne uses the 3 gang variable condenser not for a HF amp but for antenna tuning of the fixed antenna and the set has only two single IF circuits, adding to 5 tuned circuits only. See details for the models of this catalog.

Lafayette is known as a mail-order catalog business with sales outlets in different cities. See company description and the text about these catalogs .
See also the next main catalog , the Lafayette Radio Catalog no. 56, 1935 for season 1934/35
and the main catalog before this one here, Lafayette Radio Catalog no. 53, 1933 for 1932/33 .
But directly next after this catalog here are only supplements, followed by the main catalog.
With the supplements we deal at the end of this post.
The catalog directly before this Lafayette main catalog is catalog no. 54, Spring 1933 .
What is Lafayette , what is "Wholesale Radio Service Co. In c." ?
We read in other sources that "Wholesale Radio Service Co. Inc." or "Lafayette" sold off older sets from various manufacturers - and just put their name on such sets . Is that true?
Some other catalog sellers like Allied, Concord, Radolek, Burstein-Applebee, Radio Trading Co., Try-Mo, Radio Shak etc. They bought always, often or sometimes remainders from various companies from the prior manufacturing year and re-labeled with the house brand.
So some of these catalogs may seem at least partly a year behind in style and features. Or they bought cabinets from local manufacturers for such chassis, maybe what they call custom built. Some of them had retail stores in Major cities like New York and Chicago.
Lafayette shows on the next catalog - besides the main address in New York, NY some "Serving centers" in Atlanta, GA and Newark , NJ , the following catalog adds Bronx, NY and the wording "Serving" has gone. In 1936 Lafayette catalogs add Chicago, IL . At least in the 40s Lafayette had 3 mail order centers (Chicago, New York and Atlanta).
At least in the catalog 1930 for season 1929/30 Lafayette sold
