Aristocrat Model The Bestone V-60 Four Tube Receiver in antique Polychrome cabinet, with built-in high-grade loud speaker and battery compartment. Radio Coll. Guide 1921-1932 calls it a table style spinet model (?) and is in error about the tube and dial count!
The ads are from January 1925, but the UX201A came to the market not before August 1925! The UV201A was still the correct tube complement.
Contemporary ads (both from Jan.1925) show different prices:
165 $ in Radio News, and
150 $ in Radio Broadcast...In an ad it is called a 5-tuber. That is somehow unlikely, since 5 tubes are normally used for a 3-dialer (2 RF, Det., 2AF). Bunis/Slusser are listing it with 2 dials and 4 tubes, which looks more likely.
