- Notes
-
The Eckhardt Eckharmonic Radio Type X was the first, and most likely only, receiver from the short-lived Eckhardt Corporation.
It was advertised as "A Radio That You Can Play" since it had only had two controls; one volume control, and one tuning control that operated all tuning condensers. It had a built-in lighted window dial.
It had the built-in Eckophonic Resonator (without the cane enclosure) - "a loud speaker of an entirely different princple-" in the lower part of the mahogany period cabinet, identified as a Type 10 cabinet, with space for batteries or battery eliminators.
The price listed is without tubes or batteries.
