• Notes

• The General Electric P807H is a battery operated portable AM receiver. The AM band frequency tuning range is 540 to 1630kHz.  Has earphone jack that disconnects the speaker for private listening. This radio uses three self-contained circuit boards (modules). Height with unfolded handle.

  The P807H is part of the following family of models:

  Model	Other Models in Family	Cabinet Color
  P755A	None	Gray
  P805A (Early)	P805A (Late)	White
  P806A (Early)	P806A (Late)	Blue
  P807A	P807B, C, E, G, H, I, J, S, T	Black
  P808A	P808B, C, E, G, H, J, S, T	White
  P809B	P809C, E	Green

  Has high impedance speaker with reed suspended between pole pieces, drives paper cone with a stylus, and is directly driven by a single ended collector, without an audio output transformer. One of several contemporary GE transistor radio models do employ this kind of speaker which was originally used in the 1920's because of it's high efficiency and high impedance.
