  • Notes
  • We don't know the difference between this 25-AU and the model 25-AV, also known as "Peter Pan" which has s pull out drawer for log card. The correct description is not really a cathedral but it is very similar, a shouldered upright model. It was also exportet (for instance to Switzerland). RF pentode 58 is used - also for the 25-UV with the same chassis which uses only one IF filter but a RF tube. See also the other models called "Peter Pan" like 25-A and 25-U with tubes 58, 24, 58, 47, 80 - there is also a Midget with the same sujet. Jackson-Bell Co. made also a 25 "Peter Pan" with the RF tube 35 followed by 24, 24, 47 and 80 and the IF stage uses there 175 kc. Model 84 seems to be the first such radio with "Peter Pan" in the grill. This is a very small true cathedral from 1931 as a 2 circuit TRF and the tubes 24, 24, 47, 80.
