  • Notes

  • The Detrola Model 304 family of radios contained the same 304 chassis with different cabinet options. As was common with Detrola pre-WW2 radios, different cabinet options were denoted by adding a digit to the base model number, such as 3041, 3042, etc.

    Note that either ballast tube BK49BG (glass) or BK49B (metal) is interchangeable. 

    The following table lists the known Detrola 304 family models.
