  • Notes
  • The Lafayette model TC-297 "Sussex Concerto Console" tunes Broadcast 550 to 1600 kc (545-187 meters), short wave (AM) from 5.5 to 20 mc (545-15M) and FM from 42 to 50.5 mc (7.1-5.9 meters). The TC-297 has full "Bass and Treble" equalization,push-pull with 14 Watts power output for two loudspeakers: a 5" tweeter and 12" woofer. Flat frequency response from 25 to 15 000 cycles. Drift discriminater circuit. Separate FM and AM antenna inputs. The VR150 is a voltage regulator and such items (like ballast tubes) we don't count as a tube. Therefore we count 18 instead of 19 tubes. A Webster Music Changer instead of the domestic record changer would cost additional $ 25.00.

    On the following page (11) Lafayette offers the "Sussex" console as such (empty) for $ 125.00, the consoles "Regency" for $ 185.00 or "Chippendale" or "Modern" for $ 69.50.
