  • The Arvin model 92 is a 8-tube superhet "Walnut console with a rich, elegant tone, push button tuning and every fine radio feature." Six push button automatic and dial tuning for broadcast 545 - 1750 kc, marine band 1725 to 5500 kc and short waves 5.5 to 18 mc. Electric eye tuning indicator (6U5), continuous tone control, push-pull beam power output system, high fidelity acoustical compensation. The model Arvin 92 is rated 110 watts.

    The model 92 from the year 1938 for 1939 can be seen in a flier "New 1940 Arvin Radios" (Form No. H-29E-10M) and not on a later flyer (form No. H31-E-15M). But this page has not this title - it is probably a sale out for a reduced price of $ 99.95.
