  • Bemerkung
  • The Merola was designed and patented by CWP. It was introduced by Crosley Radio in 1927. The Merola is a device that allows to play phonograph records electrically by using a radio set or amplifier. The whole system is composed by a pick-up unit placed in top of an old talking machine or a normal pick-up - followed by an optional switch and a tube socket adapter for the detector tube. The switch was probably used to get rid of hum or distortions by cable and pic-up when using the radio as receiver. The adapter with cable could be left in the set. A volume control was also possible. Radios did not have a socket for a pic-up at that time. Rothermel Corporation did market this device too. The pick-up is of the movingiron type. See also the "Dynacone Adapter" which is used to attach the Type E Dynacone Power Speaker to other than Crosley receivers with the output tube UX171-A.
