  • Notes
  • The Lafayette "Commander" Auto Radio has a Jensen dynamic speaker, obtaining the field supply directly from the storage battery. The Commander came with a remote tuning and volume control unit, battery box, shielded receiver, spark suppressors and all nuts, screws, washers, cable etc. - but it seems to be less tubes.

    The Commander was sold in cabinet with loudspeaker less tubes for $ 44.50 (list price was $ 95.00). See details or summaries about this catalog.
