  • Notes

  • This set is a modern reproduction of what a 1916 Klitzen radio could have looked like as built by an amateur of the day. There is a switch to choose between an Audion tube and a crystal detector for detection. The set is built on an Atwater Kent reproduction breadboard. One of the obvious hints at a reproduction is the Klitzen "Patent Tag" attached to the set. Klitzen wasn't awarded a patent license from Armstrong until after July 1920. This "Patent Tag" was used on the 1923 Klitzen S. F-16 1-Tube Regenerative Receiver and likely came from one of these sets.

    All that makes a not indicated reproduction to an impudent fake.
