  • 500KNC Empire
    The Capehart 500 series could be called an "Ultra-Luxury Changer" - with a great receiver, built as 500 Empire for 5 seasons and as 501 Spanish for two seasons: 500E (1936/37), 500F (1937/38), 500G (1938/39), 500H (1939/40 and 500K (1940/41). As 501H (1939/40) and 501K (1940/41). Some were custom built - until civil production had to be given up because of the entry in the WW2. It can also be seen in the movie from 1939, "Intermezzo" with Leslie Howard and Ingrid Bergman as stars.
    The Capehart 400 series were introduced for season 1931/32 without suffix, followed by A 1932/33, B 1933/34 etc. through to season 1948-50. See here the "Common information for the Capehart model pages for the 1930s and 1940s".
