  • The Console De Luxe.
    Built up to a standard of quality and not down to a price, the console itself is a thing of beauty and a staple standard known quality. Two lower doors open on spacious compartments for batteries, eliminators, chargers, etc. The set is exactly in proper position for tuning and when the door is open, a proper desk is provided. The loud speaker has a gold silk grill behind it, the top opens with a full long loud speaker throat, with which we provide a balanced type of diaphragm unit. It is exquisitely designed and of good quality.

    The set itself is of the 6-tube variety, variety, 3 stages of audio amplification and 3 stages of radio frequency amplification. Because of the extraordinary fine low ratio windings on the audio coils, excellent tone quality and good volume is a good feature of this receiver.
    The latest solenoid coils, modified straightline frequency condensers, bakelite sockets
    permitting any of the X-type tubes finely etched walnut finished panels and two fine tuning knobs, giving the best selectivity one might desire. This is not just a 6-tube set, but every tube has its purpose and performs wonderfully well. The battery cord connection to the batteries is soldered--right into the receiver. The panel .matches the finish of the cabinet, which is dark with light shadings in offset.
