Note

Kit or wired. After the brand’s long-running association with Leo Meyerson’s WRL, Globe Electronics, a division of GC-Textron, took over the Globe company name and some of its products. Globe sold their five-tube superhet both wired & tested and as a kit. The receiver also appeared briefly as an RME product. It covered .55–30 MHz in four bands.
