  • Notes
  • This model which Montgomery Ward & Co. sold is named Airline AC 8-C. We could not trace ths model up to now in the known collector books. We are glad that a guest had some requests for help and can now present this very rare model. There are 10 terminals in the covered junction box with a high/low switch with a placard saying use low setting to conserve bulb life.

    Our speculation is that it is a chassis no. 70 from Grigsby-Grunow Co. - see Majestic Ch= 70 (Models 71A or 71B from 1928), Rider's 1-1. Then it has a push-pull AF output.
