  • Notes
  • Model 42-125K is a console and appears to be the only version of 42-125. While there is one reference in Rider to a model 42-125T (which would be a table model), there is no evidence in other sources to support this, and the Rider index does not list it. The loop antenna on this model is rotatable with a knob on the front of the cabinet.
