  • Notes
  • The 405 chassis was produced in variations A, B, C, D and 607 for different models. In this case the D version applicable only to the model Westminster.

    The Westminster model chassis was capable of running on 120vac 25hz to 60hz.

    The clock supplied with the Westminster was

    a) Mechanical spring wound or b) Hammond 25hz electric clock or c) Hammond 60hz electric clock.

    Some versions of the Westminster have only the Broadcast band receiver (chassis 405) but others (the "Universal" version) include a second "converter" tuner (chassis 201) for shortwave broadcasts from 1.5MHz to 22MHz in 3 bands. The converter tuner obtains its B+ supply from the Broadcast band reciever but has its own filament transformer.

    The cabinet was manufactured by McLagan in Stratford, Ontario, Canada.
