  • Notes
    • Based on Ondolina 412 with AC mains. The power supply is placed behind the radio chassis.
    • There is a rheostat and a voltmeter on the primary side of the mains transformer to compensate for voltage changes and a current regulator to keep the filament current constant. 
    • There is an alternative tubeset from Dario: R81, R76, R76, R77.
    • The radio section works with a simple wire antenna.

    SBR prospects state contradictory values for the measures of this model (42x40x40 and 60x60x60 cm). A model in the collection of the SBR Museum (B) measures 40x42x40 (WxHxD) cm.

    The price mentioned is with a loudspeaker (unspecified model from the "Voxalina" range) included.

    Since the Ondolina 412 radio also exists in 2 DC versions, we may assume that there could have been 2 DC models from this Radio-Phono 414. At this date, however, there is no specific information available other than a prospect that mentions "DC" along with "AC". A battery version is rather unlikely in view of the power consumption of the PU motor.
