1 (Superhet)

Capehart model 1 (Superhet)
Most probably there are two different model 1: On page 201 of "Radio Collector's Guide 1921-1932" we find a superhet 1 for $ 169 as a lowboy cabinet for broadcast reception with AVC and a dynamic speaker, but no record player. In the "Grinder" (Radio Collector's Directory and Price Guide, 2nd edition, page 144, there it is a lowboy radio with phono. For the dating: By the tubes, the model can not be before 1932 and McMahon did stop 1932. On page 16, Robert W. Baumbach shows some examples for Amperion changers, one is a model 1 Amperion for $ 650 which measures 32 1/4 x 45 x 20 3/4 inch, a console with Walnut and Satinwood cabinet, but no receiver. The Amperions were started March 1930.

This model is for the radio model 1 and we call the other model Amperion 1.
