  • Notes
  • This set is a likely a rebranded set from The Radio Telephone Mfg. Co.

    The R.T.M. Tuner covered the 150-650 meter wavelength range. The "B" battery was contained within the set and outlets for the "A" battery leads in the back of the cabinet.

    This set was identical to the Q. T. Light Company Type 79  which was identical to the Radio Telephone Mfg. Co. RTM Tuner and Detector except for panel engraving.

    The Q. T. Light Company either bought the assets of the Radio Telephone Mfg. Co. or were simply labeling them as their own brand. This Massey badged set was likely part of the effort to dispose of the Radio Telephone Mfg. Co. assets.
