General Notes

Note

QST, Jan 1934, p. 68. The kit builder received a handsome, pre-punched and drilled, wrinkle-finish (shrivel-finished as Gross put it) chassis, all parts (except tubes), a crystal holder, and one set of coils for $13.95. Extra coils for the 160 through 20 meter bands were 75 cents each (three required per band). A '47 crystal oscillator drove a '46 buffer/doubler, which, in turn, drove a pair of '46 final amplifiers. Jacks in each stage allowed a milliammeter to be inserted for tuning. A companion power-supply kit was offered for $8.75.
