  • Notes
  • This unknown 1 tube regenerative receiver was manufactured in 1922 under a cross licensing agreement with Tri-City Electrical Supply (TRESCO) in the BASCO (Briggs & Stratton) plant. The receiver employed the Armstrong regenerative circuit of which Tri-City was a licensee. This regenerative receiver covered the 180 to 685 meters wavelength range.
    This receiver's chassis was identical to the Monroe, D-7, The Globe 610, The Wards Airline Special and the Lawrence 1-tube receiver. This radio was manufactured for some unknown company. It had an unique cabinet for the the Tri-City models as seen in the pictures.
