- Notes
- Model 84B was the third of a series (models 80B, 81B, and 84B) of low cost 4-tube cathedrals that used a regenerative combined IF/detector stage to maximize sensitivity with very few components.
The early version (1934) had a round speaker opening with three vertical bars. The middle version (1935) had a lyre-shaped opening with three vertical bars. The late version (1936) had a continuous arch-shape extending upward from the base, and an oval speaker opening with five mostly vertical bars.
Model 84B continued onward for one more year as model 37-84B, with two more cabinet styles, and a new tube lineup (but still using a similar circuit).

Salve ai soci , sono alle prese con un problema di Ronzio su questo ricevitore . nonostante abbia gia sostituito gli elettrolitici il ronzio resta. Ho notato che mettendo a massa la griglia della finale ( 42 ) il ronzio smette , quindi presumo che il difetto sia da reputarsi nella zona finale audio. Un'altra cosa che mi sembra anomala e'la tensione troppo bassa sull'anodica e sulla griglia schermo della 77 nella sezione MF ovvero 50sull'anodica e 35 sullo schermo , nn so anche questo possa portare il ronzio ho sostituito i vari componenti in quella zona ma nulla e' cambiato , se qualcuno puo indicarmi come provare a risolvere il problema le sarei grato . Distinti saluti
GABRIELE,
