  • Notes
  • The catalog names this Lafayette model C-30 Trutest TRAVELER. The C-30 is a 4 tube AC/DC TRF with direct drive type dial without illuminated scale. The catalog lists 5 tubes but the 50X3 is only a ballast tube which we don't count. Only the model C-18 is cheaper - just by 5 cents ... Rider's does not show a schematic for the Lafayette C-30.

    The list price for model C-30 is $ 17.90 but Lafayette puts a price of $ 8.95. For addl. $ 1.00 there is a model for 220 volts. $ 1.95. See details and summaries for the models of this catalog.
