  • Notes
  • The Capehart International 88P66NL is an AC/DC/Battery operated 5 tube BC, LW and SW band receiver. Uses PM elliptical 5" x 7" speaker.

    This model was possibly manufactured by Hallicrafters for Capehart (Hallicrafters TW-2000 is similar to this model).

    These receivers have labels clearly marked 88P66NL, however the only known documentation is in the SAMS Photofact Set 331, folder 3, which lists the model number as 88P66BNL.  Thus it is not clear if there were separate models 88P66NL/88P66BNL OR if the SAMS Photofact has a typo in the model name.
