RADIOLA MODEL AR-812

• This 1924 "portable" is very large and heavy. Although carrying a separate horn speaker along with the set must have been awkward, the superheterodyne circuit, using 5 Type 99 tubes and a UX-120 in the last audio stage, makes the set a great performer!
  (Greg Farmer - Fridley, MN)

SPARTON MODEL 594

• This attractive little 5-tube AC/DC set uses a resistance line cord to provide the proper voltages for the tube filaments. The finish and the grille cloth are original. (Bill Harris - Roanoke, TX)

JODRA MANUFACTURING CO. "THE ENCHANTER"

• Made in Seattle, this late 1920s cone speaker is adorned with an attractive ship design. It is basically bronze colored, but it has green flags and leaves with a red and yellow sail decoration. The speaker driver is hidden behind the ship.(Greg Farmer - Fridley, MN)

ECHOPHONE MODEL 14

• This 6-tube superheterodyne, ca. 1932, has shadowgraph tuning and tone control. Phone jacks are mounted on the rear apron. (Ed Paski - Berwyn, PA)

BELL GAP

• Manufactured by the Electric Machine Co. of Indianapolis, Indiana, this rotary spark gap, ca. 1920, has an aluminum housing. (Larry Chestnut - Ellington, CT)

ABBOTWARES MODEL Z477

• This copper-plated, diecast metal radio has a standard 5-tube AC/DC chassis. The speaker is mounted face up in the top of the base. The saddle and blanket are removable. (Herbert H. Eltz - Juniata, NE)
