  • Notes
  • The Rider's Perpetual vol. 6-8 is supposed to show this Lafayette car radio model A-60 but there is the (probably) same schematic for a Lafayette model AM-20. The Lafayette "Absolutely SUPPRESSORLESS Single Unit - "Quick service" construction" has an automatic volume control system, 3 gang tuning condenser, 3 watt output, a vibrator and a remote indirectly illuminated airplane dial with lock type switch. The remote cable is 18".

    The model A-60 is listed at $ 43.90 with tubes, Remote Control etc. and the Lafayette price is $ 21.95. See details for the models of this catalog.
