The Mercury Super Ten employed not less than 10 "Peanut" tubes - and the radio was touted as the most sensitive and selective radio in the mid 1920s. The tubes had cost an extra 30 CDN$. 4 stages of RF/IF, oscillator, 2 detectors, AF tube and 2 power output tubes. Series-parallel filament circuit for the 1.1 volt tubes on a 6 volt accumulator. Thanks to the R215A tubes the set consumes only 500 ma on the "A" battery and a max. of 20 ma on the "B" battery. If 60 volts are used no bias ("C" battery) is needed. The Mercury Super Ten has also been sold as a kit. Customers could buy a loop aerial model "A" for 23.50 CDN$, designed for the Mercury Super Ten. Several prizes were awarded to the Mercury Super Ten for its excellent reception properties. For more text on the Super 10 see the DeLuxe versions of 1925. The Mercury Super Ten 1928 has a different (simpler) bakelite front with a wooden border enclosing the controls. The chassis shows only the plug-in coils and panut tubes above the chassis. Technically it is the same as the former models.
