HM-171 table receiver with sound converter featured by G-E. Set has 17 tubes including 5-inch cathode ray.
viewing models are being featured. With the larger picture sizes, the use of a mirror permits vertical mounting of the tubes, thereby decreasing the depth of the set.
Upwards of 16 tubes are used in the tele-sets. Several units without a sound channel use 17-19 tubes. The receivers having 12-inch or larger cathode-ray tubes have 22 or more tubes, and when an all-wave receiver is included the number swells to as high as 32.
The sensitivity of the receivers ranges from 100 to 500 microvolts. It is expected that television signal strengths many times greater than this value will be obtainable in most locations.
