  • Notes
  • Rider's 8-6 shows the model as M-31 (1935) on a schematic which was drawn Sept. 18, 1935. In the Lafayette Catalog no. 53 for 1933 (season 1932/33 with copyright 1932) the model is named M-31 (New) Minstrel for 105 - 120 volts and M-32 (New) Minstrel for 220 - 240 volts 25 - 40 cycles. Range is 200 - 550 m. Built-in antenna and 3-gang tuning condenser including antenna tuning (pre selector). Tone control knob. "Full vision dial". American walnut.

    List price $ 45.00, Lafayette sells the new M-31 for $ 19.95 and the new M-32 for 21.95 (list price $ 48.00). See details and summaries for the models of this catalog no. 53 for 1933 (Season 1932/33).

    Careful: There is a model M-31 (and perhaps M-32) Minstrel before this one and there is an other model M-31 (and perhaps M-32) after this one.
