The National Broadcast Authority ■" LJ Cro slev meets all conditions. It is small — only 20 inches long and 7 inches high. The outside case is easily removed for cabinet installation. The ingenious assembly of all controls in one spot makes it possible to adapt the Bandbox to any cabinet. Operation of the A C Bandbox receiver from house current is possible with the new amazing R. C. A. alternating current tubes UX226 and UY227. These tubes utilize for their filaments and heating regular alternating current from the houselighting circuit. The current is stepped down by means of a transformer without need of rectifiers to supply the heat necessary for the functioning of the tubes. The converter box, which is included with the Crosley AC Bandbox can be tucked away out of sight. It is connected to the Bandbox by a cable and also supplies the current for the plate voltages on the tubes replacing B batteries. Thus the Crosley AC Bandbox functions entirely from the regular houselighting current without need of batteries, battery chargers, or any of the other usual paraphernalia which requires attention, care and early replacement. The Crosley AC Bandbox with the new alternating current tubes is truly revolutionary, and brings to the radio user an entirely new conception of care-free radio entertainment of the highest standard of performance, $110. These new Bandbox receivers are now on display at over 16,000 Authorized Crosley dealers. Their faultless reception of the many wonderful events constantly on the air is proving such a startling demonstration that a national enthusiasm sweeps the country in the natural exclamation — "You're there with a Crosley!" If you cannot locate the nearest dealer write Dept. 49, for his name and literature. THE MUSICONES Companions to the Bandbox in achievement and affinities for perfect performance. Fine receiving circuits do not make fine sounds. The loud speaker has this great responsibility. Crosley has been fortunate in the development of the Musicone. Exclusive patented features have made it as fine as any on the market. Its demonstrated popularity makes it the biggest selling loud speaker today. Such leadership, instantly won when it brought a new enjoyment to radio in 1925, is maintained today by constant improvements. Better and better in performance it goes lower and lower in price. The Ultra-Musicone in 1925 was $17.50. Today, a much finer instrument, it is $9.75. The Musicone is widely imitated, but remember this, the cone is not the secret of its perfect performance. That rests in the Crosley patented actuating unit. o and West, prices slightly higher Crosley is licensed only for Radio Amateur, Rxperimental and Broadcast Reception. I a
