- Notes
-
The Admiral 521-5C is an AC operated 4 tube combination BC band receiver and phonograph. The BC band frequency tuning range is 535 - 1730kHz. Uses ballast tube L55BG.
Note: The reference "Table Top Radios Vol 4" states that this model has 5 tubes, but ballast tubes do not count as a tube and so we list this as a 4 tube radio.
