  • Notes

  • The Capehart model 101 is shown at Stein "Pre-War-Consoles" page 48 for ca. 1935 with 13 tubes, 3 bands and record player for $ 250. According to Baumbach page 12 this is one model of the earlyer group with designation 101 through 106, made about 1932, designed for the home like the later series 100 which begun 1938/39 season. Rider's shows a model 103 and 104 Cosmopolitan with chassis W-904 with 11 tubes, but the model 101 seems to have 13 tubes. Baumbach presumes that the models employ an Amperion changer. 101 is most probably earlier than 1935!
