  • Notes
  • The Arvin model 88 is a 5-tube superhet table model radio with electric phonograph enclosed - in a Walnut cabinet with grain decorative treatment. It plays 10" and 12" records and radio broadcast with band coverage of 540 to 1725 kc. Edge-lighted tuning dial. The M49B is a plug-in resistor. The model is rated 60 watts.

    The model 88 from the year 1938 for 1939 can be seen in a flier "New 1940 Arvin Radios". But this page has not this title - it is probably a sale out for a reduced price of $ 39.95.
