Radio Digest (Oct 1926-Jan 1928)

When the big parades of talent entertain the nation Yo there with, a Crosley 1/ This new Crosley Bandbox is an achievement almost as great as radio itself. Battery or automatic socket power unit operated $55. A C type taking power direct from house lighting current $110. Both sets cxactiv alike in performance, but the A C model needs no batteries and never will. On every hand manufacturers, retailers, radio fans and prospective owners exclaim— "how does Crosley do it for the price." After 5 years' ex|ierience in production on a most gigantic scale, Crosley invested over half a million dollars this past summer in manufacturing equipment for this wonder set which amases the radio engineer and staggers the imagination of the layman. Expert radio purchasers check the most costly radios made for features Crosley builds in the Bandbox for $55. The Crosley Radio Corp Powel Crosley Jr. President Cincinnati, Ohio. Absolute balance! Total Shielding! Genuine Neutrodyne! Latest refinements in fittings and operation! Adaptability to any type of installation 1 From an engineering standpoint nothing greater in radio is available to the public, for Crosley is licensed to make full use of the patents, research and developments of the world's greatest electrical and radio industries— The Radio Corporation of America, The General Electric Co., The Westinghouse Co., The American Telephone & Telegraph Co., The Latour and The Hazeltine Corporations. Coils are copper shielded ! Condensers cadmium-plated steel shielded! Wiring totally shielded from all other elements! Genuine Neutrodyne balance!

The ingenious as sembly ol all controls in one spot makes it possible to adapt tne Bandbox to any cabinet. Operation of the A C Bandbox receiver from house current is possible with the new amazing K. <-. n. alternating current tubes UX226 and UY227. These tubes utilize for their filaments and. heating regular alternating current from the househghling 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 connec ted I to the Bandbox by a cable and also supplies the current 10 the plate voltages on the tubes replacing B batteries. saWMSsaLsrwk ■ ™ "^^i^CrSe;dear:.0Tl!eir'li':;,i;' ove r 16,000 I Au honz ed I .«* T^ ' „„, less reception ol the many y demonstration on the air is proving such a start nng ^ ,hat a national °?*^™Vefl£;. wiih a Crodey"" Jfyou'ca'nnotTocrte theses, dealer write Dent 49, for his name and literature.
