    This model page is for collecting uncertain or unknown pictures or facts for a given season. Can also contain the different pictures for the different models from sets of this season.
    For season B, 1933/34 there were at least the following general models offered:
    400B, 402B, 404B, 300B and 1600B plain cabinet for a conceiled installation.
    Cabinet: Known details for 1600B are found here.
    The Cabinet 1600B is plain for a conceiled installation. Two speed changer 16-E-2, remote Aladdin possible, often with remote loudspeakers and/or remote control.
    The series 1600 cabinet began with 1600B, season 1933/34 and it was followed until season "G" for 1938/39, then for $ 905. The record changer only as 160 cabinet was only possible for E (1936/37) and F (1937/38).
    Chassis Series 400-B:
    See Rider's volume 5-2 for the 8-tube tuner chassis W-836 for Capehart 400B, 402B, 404B and the first 1600 Plain Cabinet Concealed, with 58 RF, 58 osc, 2A7 mixer, 2 x 58 IF, 55 and 2 x 57 and tuning meter.

And see the amplifier chassis W-837 with the 9 tubes 3 x 56, 4 x 2A5 and 2 x 5Z3 Rider's 5-4.
