  • 402B Adam, two speed changer 16-E-2, remote Aladdin possible
    Cabinet: The Capehart model 402B Adam was available in either Walnut or Satinwood.
    The Capehart model series 400 with Adam cabinet were made in two basic cabinet versions: The first models were called 402 Adam for 1931/32, followed by 402A Adam (1932/33), 402B Adam (1933/34) and 402C Adam 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 = change by season: See Rider's volume 5-2 for the 8-tube tuner chassis W-836 for Capehart 400B, 402B and 404B with 58 RF, 58 osc, 2A7 mixer, 2 x 58 IF, 55 and 2 x 57 and tuning meter. But read this article about variants and different tuners for the "B". The all wave tuner chassis W-839 with 58, 2A7, 2 x 58, 56, 55, and 2 x 57 and tuning meter, also having 8 tubes, is found on Rider's 5-3. And see the 9-tube amplifier chassis W-837 - tubes 3 x 56, 4 x 2A5 and 2 x 5Z3 Rider's 5-4. Careful not to confuse it with Rider's page 1-1 to 1-4 for models 400, 401 and 402, one chassis with 13 tubes.

    The Capehart 400 series were introduced for season 1931/32 without suffix, followed by A 1932/33, B 1933/34 etc. through to season 1948-50 (P). See here the "Common information for the Capehart model pages for the 1930s and 1940s". We show also a model page for the 400 series, either to collect photos of unknown detail and/or to show the different cabinets in comparison.
