  • Notes
  • The Lafayette Dual Wave models F-32, F-33 (both = chassis and LS only for a dimension of 13.5" x 9" x 10"), F-36, F-37 and with phonograph F-39, F-41 and F-42 are 10 tubes custom-built AC Superheterodynes. AVC (Automatic Volume Control), built in antenna and tone control. Broadcast 220-550 m SW from 15 m. For broadcast, a pre-selector circuit is employed in conjunction with a low frequency IF amplifier. Class "A" triode push-pull power amplification. Twin speed dial (shift lever under the main tuning knob). This family includes also the "Trio Wave Superhets" with principally the same chassis plus long waves as F-34 (Chassis only), F-35 and F-40 (phono radio). We have not found a schematic source for this model family.

    The model Dual Wave F-39 with a Capehart Record Changer in special Phono-Radio De Luxe Console (reference is to page 14 but there is no such model picture) is listed at $ 350.00 but the Lafayette price is $ 154.75. See details for the models of this catalog.
