General Notes

Note

QST, Apr 1946, p. 105. Concord catalog 4-46 (1946), p. 106. The entry level S-41 was made for only about a year and was released just a couple of months before the S-38 series. It was available in a gray cabinet (S-41G), or in white (S-41W). The unit was electrically and mechanically identical to the Echophone EC-1B. Only the cabinet and dial colors are different. A couple of curious details: the mode switch is labeled BROADCAST and CODE, rather than AM and CW, and instead of ANL there is a switch labeled ANTI NOISE and NORMAL. Caution: Transfomerless design Coverage: 540 kHz to 30 MHz IF: 455 kHz Modes: AM, CW Built-in speaker BFO ANL Uncalibrated Bandspread Power: 120 volts AC-DC Tubes: 35Z5, (1) 35L6, (2) 12SQ7, (1) 12SK7, (1) 12SA7
