  • The "Dual Speaker" models L-16, L-17, L-18 and L-19 are sharing the same Rider's schematic 5-11 Lafayette Radio & Television Corp. Sometimes Lafayette writes "Dual Speaker", sometimes "Twin Speakers" and sometimes "Two Speakers". They are two electro magnetic speakers with differently pitched frequencies.
    L-16 is a chassis with tubes and loudspeakers (no cabinet) for 105- 120 volts, 50 to 60 cycles.
    L-17 is a chassis with tubes and loudspeakers (no cabinet) for 220 volts 60 cycles or 110 volts, 25 cycles.
