- Notes
- The model Majestic 93 is a console (lowboy stretcher base) with the chassis 90-B - often incorrectly called 90-B after the chassis. The chassis 90-B comes for 50-60 cycles or 25-40 cycles AC. Reason: There are two different values for the power supply: 3 condensers for 2 MF or two of them for 4 MF (for 25-40 cycles). For the antenna there is a local distance switch.
The chassis 90-B from Grigsby-Grunow Co. has a 5 gang variable condensator for tuning the T.R.F. balanced circuit with a single control. The selectivity control or trimmer functions by varying the inductance of the antenna input coil and permits adjusting the input circuit to exact resonance with the other tuned circuits. The detector tube feeds (via R.F. choke) directly the transformer for the push-pull output which drive the so called "Super-Dynamic Speaker" model G-3 from Grigsby-Grunow Company in Chicago. The models Majestic 90, Majestic 91 and Majestic 93 with its different cases use the same chassis 90-B.
