  • Notes
  • Early in 1929 the Rudolph Wurlitzer Manufacturing Company took over the production of Lyric Radios. This model Lyric H29 "of Spanish Umbrian design with the many features of the model H19 enhanced by a set of beautifully matched doors" - is shown in the "Fall and Winter issue 1930-1931 Radio Merchandise Wholesale Catalog" of "The James Bailey Company", 264 Middle Street, Portland, Maine. The Price is $ 154 without tubes and the wholesale price is then $ 92.40. With tubes it is $ 175.30 / $ 105.18. The text is interesting: "In the combined plants of the All-American Mohawk Corporation and the Rudolph Wurlitzer Manufacturing Company, at North Tonawanda, New York, 93 % of the comlete LYRIC set is made. The same skill and workmanship that have made the mighty Wurlitzer organs famous is now responsible for the undisputed preëminence of LYRIC. Two hundred years of background and experience in the music indurstry enable this manufacturer to produce an outstanding radio such as the new 1931 LYRIC. ... Unusual features of the "H" series include the new traveling light on a full vision dial, the unique escutcheon plate; Radio's new sensation - a readily accessible tone control switch, practically humless reception through a more delicate set balance and grater sensitivity, a four gang condenser which allows perfect selectivity, ample volume, voltage regulator and phonograph pick-up jacks, thus embodying all features known to radio science today."
