The second in the Sky Buddy series. The other were the 5-T (1935) and the S-19R (1938). A refinement of the 5-T using octal tubes (except for the 80), and a restyled cabinet. Essentially the same basic circuit. No bandspread. The center dial is only a logging scale.A short production run makes the S-19 rare.
