Im Gegensatz zu Radioempfängern für kommerzielle und/oder militärische Zwecke und den frühen Empfängern für Morsezwecke nennen wir hier Radio bzw. Rundfunkempfänger. Aber: Gemäss internationaler Sprachregelung führt der Radiokatalog Band 1 alle Empfänger mit aktiven Bauteilen als RADIO. Wir unterscheiden hier ebenfalls nicht, ob mit Röhren bestückt, hybrid, mit Transistoren oder/und ICs.

Principle
Super-Heterodyne (Super in general); IF-Freq. 460 kHzSuperhet - normally without a preamplification stage (as far as known). Please use «To add informations to model» if you know more! Thanks.
Récepteur TSF superhétérodyne. Normalement sans préamplification de HF.
Superhet ohne Vorstufe.
Nicht immer war bei der Erfassung klar, ob der Empfänger eine Vorstufe aufweist oder nicht. Im Zweifelsfall kam das Gerät in diese Kategorie.
Wave bands
Broadcast, Short Wave(s) and Police.Broadcast (MW), Short Waves and Police can be one or several Short Wave Bands plus one or several Police-Bands.
Power type and voltage
Alternating Current supply (AC)AC set plus voltage range.
/ = 2 different voltages
- = voltage from-to
* = «Special»
Apparareil à courant alternatif. Tensions mentionnées.
/ = 2 Spannungswahlen
- = von-bis
* = Fabrikwahl/«Spezial»
Trafo ist nicht immer mit Primär- undSekundärwicklungen versehen. Dadurch kann das Chassis ein gefährlichesPotential führen.
Loudspeaker/pwr.out
Electro Magnetic Dynamic LS (moving-coil with field excitation coil)Electro magnetic dynamic loudspeaker (moving-coil principle by Rice-Kellog) with field excitation coil - mostly used as choke.
Haut parleur dynamique avec bobine d`excitation - plus souvent aussi utilisé pour le self.
Elektrodynamischer Lautsprecher mit Erregerspule für das Magnetfeld (Fremderregung), meist gleichzeitig als Siebglied dienend.

Hello all....I just wanted to share repair tips on this model. I received set with loud hum, that was not effected by volume control. I changed all caps . On the chassis are 3 'can' capacitors. One has its ground to chassis, the other two do not ( be aware of this, because the riders schematic is hard to read) After changing them, the hum was gone, but the set did not play. On check of voltages, I was not getting any screen voltages on 6K7 or 6A8. There is a voltage divider resistor mounted on chassis. I disconnected all leads to it, and found two sections were open ( 13K, and 3.5K ) . Replaced with 10 watt resistors, and she came to life! A good sounding radio, with fine tone, and sensitivity. Now to refinish the veneer! Al Pugliese
