Balkite "B"— the unique "B" power supply— eliminates "B" batteries entirely and supplies "B" current from the light socket. The new Balkite "B"-W at $2750* serves any set of 5 tubes or less requiring 67 to 90 volts. Balkite "B"-X at $42* serves sets of up to 135 volts and 8 tubes. Balkite "B"-Y at $69 serves any standard set. The Balkite Trickle Charger at $10* is probably the most popular of all chargers. Over 200,000 were purchased during one season and are now in service. Instead of operating intermittently at a high rate, it operates continuously at a low rate, thus automatically keeping the battery at full charge. In effect it converts your "A" battery into a light socket "A" power supply.
