  • Notes
  • ACME Detector and Two-Stage Amplifier Consists of Audion detector to which is added two stages of audio frequency amplification. The circuit used is one of the best and insures maximum amplification without distortion and without objectionable noises and howling. Sockets mounted on bakelite base: positive spring connections. Filament controlled by durable, positive acting rheostats. Acme Audio Frequency Transformers are used. Ample space inside the cabinet for the "B" battery. All connections are from the rear. Eight binding posts mounted on bakelite strip provide connections for input, "A" and "B" batteries and output. Rheostat controlled by genuine bakelite knobs with corrugated edges for secure finger grip. Amplifier jacks are filament controlled to insure maximum economy in the use of the "A" battery current , as current is only applied when plug is inserted in jack.
