  • Notes
  • Three dials (primary tuning control knobs) This set was a three circuit tuner with two stages of audio amplification. Tuning was done by a variometer and vario-coupler and a second variometer was placed in the plate circuit of the detector tube for regeneration. This set was sold as an assembled but unwired kit. Lacking an Armstrong regeneration patent the company could not offer the radio as a wired unit. The user could then wire the set as a regenerative receiver.
