See Allied Radio catalog 1964 (copyright 1963), p. 65. Kit only. Not actually referred to as the R-100 until Allied's 1960 catalog. Prior to 1960 it was called the model Y-726, which was actually part of the catalog number for the product. In 1962, Allied restyled the R-100 receiver to match their new Knight-Kit T-150 transmitter. The front-panel antenna trimmer was moved and labeled but, electrically, the nine-tube R-100A differed little from its predecessor. Accessories include a speaker (cat no. Y-728), an S-meter kit (cat no, Y-727), and a 100 kHz crystal calibrator (cat no. Y-256). References Review. Popular Electronics, Sep 1958, p. 71.
