  • RADIO-GRAMOPHONE MODEL 661. 

    Reproduction of radio programs on the long, medium, and short wave bands and the rendering of gramophone music with all the faithfulness characteristic of "His Master's Voice'" by an instrument of the utmost elegance . . are the paramount features of this new six-valve "His Master's Voice" Radiogram. The powerful superhet circuit receives broadcasts from stations over a radius of thousands of miles, and tuning is easy by means of the Magie Eye. The radio controls are grouped on a sloping panel in the front, and the gramophone turntable and controls are under the hinged centred portion of the top of the walnut veneered cabinet.
