The RF coils are wound so that the set reaches to 190 meters instead of 200 meters. It brings police calls in some localities. AVC (Automaitc Volume Control) and tone control.

    The model A-12 is listed at $ 50.00 but the Lafayette price is $ 20.95. No measurements given. The 3 gang variable condenser is not for a HF amp but for antenna tuning of the fixed antenna. See details for the models of this catalog.
