  • Notes
  • Arvin model 616A with chassis RE-98 is given in "Radio Retailing" of September 1941 on page 15 as ad and on page 31 as a new model by the editor. On the ad we find size 9.75 x 6.5 x 5.5 inch, and on page 31 it is 9 11/16 x 6 9/16 x 5 9/16 inch. We use the latter which seems to be more exact.
