- Notes
-
The Eagle Engineering Co., Ltd., of Warwick, are the latest to fall in with the general trend and produce a radio-gramophone which is available for AC or DC mains or for battery operation.
Although it is marketed by the old-established concern which normally uses the trademark Chakophone in connection with radio apparatus, this particular product is to be known as the " Eagle."
It is in reality a table model, although it is normally supplied in conjunction with a specially made stand, which, together with the cabinet, is available in full French polished mahogany or oak.
At the front of the cabinet, there is a circular grille immediately to the right of the control panel, while the sides and back also have grilles which tend to eliminate box-resonance. The lid of the cabinet is, of course, hinged at the back to allow access to the pick-up and turntable, and the winding handle is situated on the right.
The receiver utilises a circuit designed for use with external aerial and earth systems, the tuning being controlled by a single drum dial. An " Eagle " moving-coil speaker is disposed inside the cabinet.
Complete with the table stand, which is shown in the illustration, the radio-gramophone is listed at 35 guineas, ready for use with either AC or DC mains, or for battery operation.
It can also be supplied without the stand, as a table model, at 33 guineas. The all-mains models may be fitted with electric gramophone motors at an extra cost of £5 5s.
