• Astor Releases New High Quality Receiver

  The whole world still thrills to the story of the Master, Beethoven, writing his greatest compositions after he had become deaf and thus deprived of the satisfaction of even hearing them performed. The thought of his sad affliction gains an added poignancy when one speculates how the heart of this great genius would have been stirred had it been possible for him to hear his masterpieces rendered by a Modern Symphony Orchestra with all its adventitious helps in the form of improved instruments and perfected musical technique. And then to speculate on the modern miracle of radio....." so runs the introduction to a most attractive folder that Radio Corporation Pty. Ltd. is now distributing to its dealers to announce the new high quality model 110 receiver.

  Publicity in connection with the new Astor is being tied up with the Beethoven motif. Attractive showcards with the great master in the background together with symbols of music are being prepared and will be distributed shortly. Four colour folders will also be available shortly.

  The new receiver is being merchandised with a quality appeal. To quote the Astor pamphlet- "Of surpassing beauty, it captures all the elegance of a graceful period - the time of great composers - annd dramatises in a masterful manner the unsuspected loveliness of Australian timbers, incorporating butt maple top and and instrument panel, contrasting with Macasser Ebony side pilasters, maple veneered-shaped grill and maple veneered solid coachwood sides."

  This Astor 110 incorporates what is known as the New Magic Selectivity Control, a means of varying the coupling in the i.f. stages so as to give less selectivity, but less cutting on the side bands. By the operation of this control remarkable fidelity can be introduced into the reproduction. Maintained in its extreme position the set is needle sharp.

  The pamphlet claims that every frequency in the audible range can be rendered in its true perspective so that not a single, overtone or harmonic is missed from a movement by a great symphony orchestra.

  The characteristics of the new 110 are as follows: De Luxe model superheterodyne for AC 200-250 operations, employing 42 Power Pentode output and new multiple function valves giving seven valve performance.

  Features: Magic selectivity control, quiet a.v.c. operation, automatic tone control, automatic bass compensation, retaining depth of natural bass when volume is reduced below normal level; colour light tuning which permits station to be tuned to exact point where best tone and maximum volume is reached; inclined sounding board harmonics and overtones, vital to the faithful reproduction of sound, tend to travel in straight lines - the inclined sounding board directs them up to ear level; 3,000 square inches of baffle area - as in the grand piano the larger the baffle area the better the reproduction of low notes - Astor model 110 provides over 3,000 square inches of effective baffle area. Other features include 10 inch Jensen, electro-dynamic speaker, vernier tuning and airplane dial. To facilitate service the chassis is mounted on a sliding shelf.
