  • The "AC All ElectricGrand" is a family of receivers in the catalog "Radio dealers wholesale after inventory smashing reductions" from 1928 on page 3. It is a shielded construction with a chassis of solid brass. Walnut cabinet. The wholesale price was $ 42.65 for number 9007 (list price $ 110.00) or $ 65.85 for these "Grand Six models" including tubes, storage "A" Battery, 3 x 45-volt "B" battery, "C" battery and aerial kit as no. 9008. As no. 9009 "A.C. all Electric Eliminator Power" it came with an "A" and "B" Battery Eliminator (Raytheon type) for $ 85.75 or as 9009-A with AC tubes and AC power pack "All Electric Operation" for the same price of $ 85.75.

    One volume and one clarity control. "The model has a solid walnut panel front and in the opening is a green-black soft finish panel on which rests the beautiful shaded bronce plates opening on the single illuminated drum on the left side of which is numerical spacing and on the right an erasable space for logging. A center knob on the Gothic escutcheon plate tunes the entire receiver with air-line selectivity" - can be applied here like on the seven (or 8 with rectifier) tube models of this kind.
