Tube Lineup: 12SA7, 12SG7/12SK7, 12SR7/12SQ7, 50L6, 35Z5 Contributed by G. Potter |
These DalBar 100 - 1000 series radios were made in Dallas, Texas by a group that spun off from Watterson during their bankruptcy.
 | Delco R6011
Circa 1937Band: AM & SW
Tube Lineup: 6A7, 15, 15, 15, 76, 76, 19 Contributed by T. Dumerauf |
This Delco R6011 is a farm radio that ran off large 6-volt car batteries due to the heavy current consumption of the vibrator power supply that converted the battery voltage to the higher B+ voltage for the tubes. Radios that run on AC require less current because of the higher mains voltage (120V), so for equivalent power consumption with a 6-volt battery, higher current was consumed.
| Kadette K152
Circa 1937Bands: AM & SW
Tube Lineup: 6A7, 6B7, 6D6, 43, 25Z5 Contributed by Bruce |
Bruce discovered this fabulous peanut butter mottled Kadette in a thrift store. The radio strongly resembles the model K152, but the tube lineup does not match. I believe the chassis may be more closely related to the model 85 or another model with a similar tube lineup, but was sold in a similar cabinet. Note that the models 150, 151, and 152 all have the same radio chassis but came with a bakelite, plaskon, or peanut butter mottled cabinet respectively.
 | Philco 89
1935Bands: AM & SW
Tube Lineup: 44, 77, 44, 75, 42, 80 Contributed by A. Guha |
 | Sparton 558 "Sled"
1937Bands: AM & SW
Tube Lineup: 6A8, 6K7, 6Q7, 6F6, 5Y3 Contributed by P. Wieck |
Sparton mirrored radios are highly sought by radio collectors. This model was designed by Walter Dorwin Teague, and the mirror cabinet was available in blue or peach - the latter is rarer.
 | Watterson 400
Circa 1936Band: AM
Tube Lineup: 6D6, 6C6, 43, 25Z5 Contributed by G. Potter |
This radio was made by the Watterson Radio Manufacturing Company in Dallas, Texas.
 | Watterson 4581
