Notes | Later versions used 25Y5. The Minnie Mouse Auditorium Speaker was available as an accessory for this radio. It plugged into a socket on the rear and was switched into circuit by a rotary switch on the side of the radio. It is assumed a special knob was proved with the speaker to operate the switch on the side of the Astor OZ. Later known examples, with serial numbers around 7000 have the power plug and extension speaker socket on the chassis removed and blanked off with a Bakelite cover. The speaker change over switch is also removed; however, the cabinet still has the hole for the speaker change over knob. |
