  • Notes
  • Jaques Deseyne tells us: "The original model dates from 1949 and was upgraded several times. The oldest units had the double tuning knob (with fine adjustment, a purely mechanical solution), a typical Carad component from the late 1930s until the mid-1950s. From the early 1950s, a Philips AG1000 record player was built-in. From 1955, the R62PA tape recorder was available as an option. Later models offered a choice between a record player, such as Philips, Dual (1004) and a transcription turntable such as the Garrard 301. The chairside model used the A737 chassis from 1954 and the TP01h chassis from 1956. In 1958, it was replaced by the ProArte radiogram, with a Garrard or Thorens (TD124) turntable, using Ortofon arms and cartridges."

    This here is the Chairside model 20 with a Garrard 301 turntable, mounted with an Ortofon arm and moving coil cartridge and appropriate setp-up transformer and pre-amplifier. See also the the Chairside model 11B with a (cheaper) Dual 1003 record player in 1956 or 1004 in 1957-1958. They both have the chassis TP01h and AS02 with two EL84 output tubes, delivering 10 Watt RMS to two Goodmans speakers mounted in the cabinet. It is possible to connect an external loudspeaker.
