  • The Arvin Phantom President model 828-AT is featured in the flier "New 1938 Arvin Radios" from 1937 which emphasizes on the "Phantom Filter Circuit (in "Life" October 18th 1937) and in ads on "ten years of radio progress". Some models feature also Arvin's "Presto-Station-Changer" for selecting one out of 10 stations - like with a telephone dial. But the Arvin Phantom President model 828-AT has a "new automatic Stop-Light Station tuning".
