  • Bemerkung
  • The CGE models KL70 and KL76 share the same schematic with RCA Victor A25 and A38. The antenna "GE Beam-A-Scope" is part of the tuned RF stage of the set. See also Zenith's WaveMagnet".

    Some info found on Internet by "Chas" (in S. Dartmouth, MA) about the Beam-a-Scope: "The rotatable loops in the later model consoles are usually model specific in design. They utilized different types of input circuitry built within the loop. Often the loop itself was shielded with a wire cage or foil. Sometimes an external antenna coupler is built in. Can be either extra turns on the main coil or a smaller inductor nested within the larger coil. If you want the full performance of the G-E try to find the correct Beam-A-Scope for that radio." We can add to that: Sometimes you will find two loop antennas called "Beam-s-Scopes" by General Electric. Then the second Beam-a-Scope comes into operation if the user chooses the highest shortwave band. With that, a better shortwave reception is achieved without a long wire antenna (which still would be better).

I am currently working on the restoration of a KL-76 "Beam-a-Scope and have completed all the woodwork and finishing. The problem is its glass dial plate which is missing  (with the exception of a small fragment). The picture here is quite helpful except for not being able to discern the various, quite small printing in green. As may be seen, the lettering is blurred to the point that I cannot make it out. My hope is to secure a clear, high-resolution picture/photograph of the dial to be used to create a replica to complete the restoration. If I am overlooking something that may be found in the pictures on site, as my computer skills are not my strong set, perhaps someone could offer direction. Any suggestions as to obtaining the clear photo would likewise be greatly appreciated. Charlie
