    The Belltone Super-Heterodyne Four Tube Radio Kit is a compact AM radio kit designed for easy home assembly. It features four tubes, a reliable selenium rectifier (instead of a rectifier tube), a 5-inch ALNICO permanent magnet speaker, and a protective filament resistor to extend tube life.

    The kit operates on 110V AC or DC, includes all parts except the cabinet, wire, and solder, and comes with detailed instructions and diagrams. It is praised for its selectivity, sensitivity, and high-quality sound, making it a popular and dependable choice for hobbyists and students in the late 1940s.
