  • Notes
  • The Lafayette Pre-Selector has a copper plated steel chassis for minimum resistance. Four gang single dial control with completely shielded stators. Choke and field coil for power supply. The volume control is part of the antenna bridge circuit. Linear power detector with plate rectification. A voltage of 300 is employed and a high resistance between cathode and ground gives an automatic variation of grid voltage depending on the strength of the input signal. Band pass filter with pre-selector. Utah Stadium Dynamic Speaker, producing from 20 to 6000 cycles. Resistance coupled first audio stage and a transformer coupled push-pull output stage. Lafayette writes about "the new 1930-31 Lafayette Pre-Selector Reciever".

    The model P.S. Phono-Radio-Combination was delivered as console with the Balanced Impedance Utah Stadium Dynamic Speaker, less tubes for $ 97.50 (list $ 199.00) or with complete set of RCA Radiotrons and Aerial Equipment for $ 109.05 (list price $ 219.00).
