  • Notes
  • The Lafayette "New Deal" model A-11 is a 5-Tube AC/DC Superheterodyne and covers 190 to 550 meters. Three-Gang Variable Condenser, built-in aerial. The RF coils are wound so that the set reaches to 190 meters instead of 200 meters. It brings police calls in some localities. Finished in contrasting shades of walnut and mahagony its distinctive lines are accenuated by fine lines of two color marquetry inlay. The set is listed at $ 40.00 but the Lafayette price is $ 17.95. There is also a "Suede Carrying Case" for $ 1.50. The same model no. A-11 is also available for 220 volts, price $ 19.25. Fact is that this Superheterodyne uses the 3 gang variable condenser not for a HF amp but for antenna tuning of the fixed antenna and the set has only two single IF circuits, adding to 5 tuned circuits only. See details for the models of this catalog.
