  • Notes
  • Grebe Type II Two-Stage Audio Amplifier Type RORK with internal rheostat elements with thumb wheel control. In 1923 the Andrae catalog R-3 recommended: 2xC301A for storage batteries or 2xC299 with adapters for dry batteries.

    The corrected schematic reflects the actual switch construction which is difficult to determine in the 1925 drawing. Values were determined from actual measurments.  Grebe vernier rhostats have an asbostos insulator so use caution.
