  The early version (1933) of the model 44B cathedral had a recessed panel, while the late version (1934) had a simpler flat-front cabinet. Model 44H (1933-34) was an ornate highboy, with an arched control panel and six narrow vertical bars at the sides of the speaker grill, as well as additional embellishment. Model 44X (1934) was a floor-type console in a classical style, with three round pillars in front of the speaker grill.
