• Notes

• The Capehart model 200 series were introduced for season 1936/37 as suffix "E" and 1937/38 as "F". See here the "Common information for the Capehart model pages for the 1930s and 1940s".
  According to Baumbach book, there are only the models 202E Georgian, 204E Modern, 204F Modern and 205E Georgian, but we found also a model 203E Georgian and an ad for "200" Gainsborough with the same receiver as 300 but differing in cabinet and modified form of the record changer.

  The question of the chassis for the 200 series is outlined in this text.
  Short overviews with links like this overview - for 100 Series, 200 Series, 300 Series, 400 Series, 500 Series and plain cabinets 1600 and 160 (and accessories) - see in these links.

  This model 204F Modern uses ONE chassis only and has the same alignment procedure as for model 110-G, shown on page 10-4 of Rider's volume X, the only exception being that model 200-F uses a 6L7 first detector instead of a 6A8. There is no record changer!
