  • Notes
  • The catalog names this Lafayette model C-12 Troubador. The C-12 is a 5 tube AC TRF with "large illuminated air-plane type dial. "The frequency range of C-12 Troubador is 75 - 550 meters in two bands, one from 72 - 200 m and the other from 200 - 550 meters." Yes, one is a 72, the other 75 - there is a typo but which one? Rider's does not show a schematic for the Lafayette C-12.

    The list price for model C-12 is $ 25.90 but lafayette puts a price of $ 12.95 with tubes. There is also an adapter cord for adapting the receiver for 220 volt operation for addl. $ 1.00. See details and summaries for the models of this catalog.
