  • The magazine "Radio News", July 1922, page 87, names it without picture or price - but with name "Harko No. XX" - Complete receiving set with "Amplifier and loud-speaking unit in full floor size cabinet". Tuner, detector, amplifier and loud-speaking unit are in one cabinet. The model XX is technically a model X as a console with integrated loudspeaker. It has two dials (primary tuning control knobs) and pinter knobs and the old type rheostats. Highly polished mahogany cabinet. The middle compartment contains a loudspeaker and the lower compartment is made to take care of the batteries. Price without tubes, batteries or phones.
