  • The McMurdo Silver Masterpiece V
    In 1936 another new model appeared, the Masterpiece V. A complete re-design, in addition to the use of metal tubes were incorporated, the 20 tube set now had a larger and more impressive dial and front panel. The much-refined circuit used two 6K7's in the RF stages, a 6L7 mixer, a 6J7 oscillator, three 6K7's in the IF, a 6Q7 second detector and first audio, a 6K7 and 6H6 as AVC amplifier and rectifier, two 6C5's in push-pull driving two metal 6L6's in the output, and two 5Z3 rectifiers. In addition, the receiver had a volume-expander using a 6L7, 6C5 and a 6H6. A 6G5 Tuning-eye tube replaced the meter used in previous models. This was McMurdo Silver's first major attempt to capture some of Scott's high-end market.

    The IF bandwidth control retained the system used in the previous model; three stages for maximum selectivity, and just one for high-fidelity local reception.

    Bass and treble controls were used, along with the new volume expander control. The audio system was now resistance-coupled, eliminating the interstage transformer which was a feature of earlier designs. Bass and treble controls are cut only but bass boost is accomplished in the volume control circuit. The 25Watt power amplifier drives two Jensen A12 electro-dynamic speaker mounted in a lined infinite baffle speaker enclosure for superior bass response.

    A phono jack was provided so that the audio signal from the radio and phono inputs could be fed to a separate amplifier, perhaps for earphone or public address use. Plugging into this jack disabled the output amplifiers.
