WE HAVE developed in the Radio Age laboratory a seven tube super receiver that is remarkable for the simplicity of its construction. Notwithstanding the ease with which its parts may be assembled it produces results in tone quality, selectivity and power that one would look for in the best eight tube super.
But the most important fact about the new super is that it incorporates a new piece of equipment that has never before been called to the attention of radio fans. This feature alone would be enough to command the interest of fans all over the country. We are going to tell all about the receiver in our November issue and with the editorial text we are going to print drawings, photographs and blueprints. We suspect that this set will be the one many fans will decide to build as a foundation for their winter radio adventures. Frankly, we hope thousands will build it.
RADIO AGE has always been a magazine for the man who builds his own. We pioneered in the hook-up field five years and more ago and we have been printing hook-ups in blueprints for so long that the average fan calls us the "blueprint magazine." The thought gives us some pleasure in view of the fact that the set-makers are coming into their own again. Manufacturers who for a time devoted most of their attention to making complete sets, have returned to the business of making parts. New manufacturers with solid resources and extensive experience in manufacturing have entered the parts field. Home experimenters are on the increase. We will have constructional articles in ample volume for them in each forthcoming issue.
