  • Notes

  • This is perhaps the most complete receiver ever manufactured ; contains features of the
    most expensive midget receivers now on the market. Housed in a beautiful cabinet of selected woods. The circuit is newly developed and one of the most efficient ever designed.
    Employs the following tubes : 1—’58, 1—'57, 2—’47’s, 1—280. It has a high gain per stage
    without the usual cross talk or interference between stages. The Audio system consists of two pentodes which result in a tremendous amount of power.
