  • Notes

  • 402 Adam (the first generation)
    AF output tubes in parallel push-pull. Baumbach lists a price of $ 895. There seems to be also an other price of $ 973.  We still have to find the right cabinet photo.
    Cabinet:
    The Capehart model series 400 with Adam cabinet were made in two cabinet versions: The first models were called Adam 402 for 1931/32, followed by 402A (1932/33), 402B (1933/34) and Adam 402C for 1934/35.
    Model Adam 406 followed as Adam 406D in 1935/36, 406E, 406F, 406G, 406H, 406K-AM and 406K-FM, 406M and Adam 406N for 1946-1948 with the post war changer 41-E instead of 16-E.
    Chassis:
    The first model Series 400 uses the two chassis: 8076 tuner and 8078 PSU (PSU = power supply). The 4 AF output tubes are in parallel push-pull.
    See here the "Common information for the Capehart model pages for the 1930s and 1940s".
    McMahon shows two entries for the same price: either 4 x 45 or 4 x 47 output tubes.
