"As we discussed in email, G-240 (not C) is the odd AW13 set. It has a 6-pin plug so it was never tied to the Type 150 amp. With a 240 serial number, it was VERY late, the Type 150 amp must have been much earlier - those two items were built at least…"

"Could that chassis C-240 have been a special order to be used with a 150 amplifier?  Or, could it have started life as an earlier AW 12?  Is there anyway to gauge a date based on any of the components on the inside of the chassis?…"

"G-240 Different prefix...and a high number (all Allwave 12 sets end at ?-250, no matter the prefix, a known break point. So it's a late set but has no bearing on my quandary with these H prefix sets.   "

"Nope....that is my problem...I have an 8-pin chassis here WITH AVC. How would that fit in. And a set with a 6-pin power cable with a LOWER serial number than the 8-pin AVC... Drives me crazy sometimes."

Battery Allwave, 6 volt

Posted on April 26, 2017 at 7:01pm 0 Comments

Does anyone have an idea of what speaker went with the Battery Allwave sets of the early 1930s?

These would be the 6 volt and 2 volt Allwave receivers.

Cheers,

John

Ravinia Grande Cabinets

To All,

 

I have two different size Ravinia Grande cabinets.  The smaller one contains a pointer dial Philharmonic and garrard turntable.  The larger (wider) cabinet contains a Presto Record Lathe and turntable abet no turner or face board.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Cheers,

 

John
