  • 61D 18th Century
    Cabinets:
    The models 50 with cabinet Modern and 51 with the cabinet 18th Century have chassis from the 300 series but less the changer and show a smaller cabinet. They were made for three seasons only as 50D Modern, 50E Modern and 50F modern, 51D 18th Century, 51E 18th Century and 51F 18th Century.
    The same is 60-D, 60-E and 60-F with cabinet modern.
    Also models 60 Modern and 61 18th Century were made without changers, for season 1935/36 as 60-D and 61-D (for $ 495), for season 1936/37 as 60-E and 61-E and for season F but all with the bigger chassis series 400. To all of those one could add the conceiled Record Changer model 160.
    Chassis Series 400-E for LW, broadcast and SW bands:
    4-gang tuning condenser for two RF stages, 6 IF filters. See Rider's volume 7-4 for the 9-tube tuner chassis W-877 from Dec. 1935 for Capehart 404D Chateau, 405D Chippendale, 406D Adam, the 1600D Plain Cabinet Concealed, 60D Modern and 61D 18th Century:
    6K7 1st RF, 6K7 2nd RF, 6C5 osc, 6L7 mixer, 2 x 6K7 IF, 6H6 AFC and 3 x 6C5.
    Two AF amplifiers:
    W-867 bass amp for 8 tubes:     2 x 6F5, 4 x 6F6 push-pull/parallel and 2 x 5Z3.
    W-868 treble amp for 4 tubes: 6F5, 2 x 6F6 push-pull and 5Z3 rectifier.

    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". We show also a model page for the 400 series, either to collect photos of unknown detail and/or to show the different cabinets in comparison.
