QST, Aug 1936, p. 62. (First reference to NC-100) Radio Craft, Dec 1936, p. 357. QST Jun 1938. ("XA" introduced) National advertised the NC-100 as the perfected superhet. The 12-tube receiver covered .54-30 MHz in five ranges using a moving coil catacomb and had a built-in power supply. With the addition of the optional crystal filter, it became the 1OOX. National restyled the NC-1OOX to create the NC-100A and 1OOXA. References Description. Radio News, Sep 1936, p. 145. A few notes on the NC-100, QST Jun 1938, p. 55.
